Waterstone Employee Sacked for Writing Blog
1/11/2005
Shame on Waterstone's! Shame on any company that feels they own the lives of their employees. This reminds me of a similar thing that happened about 2 years ago with Border's. An employee there wanted to start a worker's union a few years ago, and Border's fired her. What was her name?
Regardless, it seems that now they DO have a union of sorts. The IWW, a 'union for all workers,' represents a number of 'industries.' Their goal is to remain open to all workers and organize the employee, not the job. Pretty interesting stuff.
Side note. An open-source 'google' without the ads is being developed. The creator expects lots of legal trouble with Google, but apparently he has some pretty good arguments for what he's doing. Check out the story here and Scroogle here.
