A Blogger’s Union

Talk about another bad business decision - from the Pioneer Planet’s Bloggers May Form Union:

A loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers is trying to form a labor union in hopes of helping them secure health insurance, conduct collective bargaining or even set professional standards.

But wait, it gets better:

“Blogging is very intense - physically, mentally,” she said. “You’re constantly scanning for news. You’re constantly trying to … mobilize your readers.

I particularly enjoyed the first part of that quote - blogging is very intense physically.  Physically?  Insert your own Jay Leno joke about how fat we are becoming as a nation.

    i can only partly agree with you:

    our nation is getting fatter and fatter but that doesn’t mean spending 10 hours straight on a computer isn’t physically intense.

    the blog sited here is one i work on for ergonomics. (maybe it will be helpful in framing what i’m talking about).

    Thanks for the comment James. I’ll check out your blog. I realize the computer can be tiring (my job every day). I was just thinking more about 2 of my neighbors who work outdoors all day for utility companies. When I see them at the end of the day, they ARE physically drained.
