Will Unions FINALLY Organize The New Digital Workforce?

The decision by Salon employees, announced in a press release by the union Thursday, suggests that Gawker’s high-profile union campaign may indeed have a domino effect in new media, which is generally a union-free world at the moment.

A statement signed by all 26 editorial employees said that “every single” staffer was on board with the decision.

This is a good thing.  Unions should be targeting Amazon, Microsoft, Expedia, Costco and Google.  Instead they seem fixated on the pubic sector, a battle that is eerily similar to the era ob Boss Tweed and based more on political clout than worker power.
