International Unions Organize in Second Life

Last September, a thousand-plus international union members converged on IBM's Second Life campus, protesting a wage cut affecting Big Blue's Italian employees, garnering widespread media coverage.  Resident johninnit Ni just pointed out this site, SL Unions, which aims to capitalize on that success.  "A bunch of real life organizations are getting together to start an island as a networking/events/ campaigns space for all unions internationally," he says, "a set of facilities held in common between them."  He adds that the group's Second Life island will be open to the public next month, and for now, you can follow their progress at their homepage.
