The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is conducting an interesting experiment in online advocacy: they’ve launched an effort to start a grand, Web-wide conversation on how they should tackle the challenge of WalMart’s labor practices. It’s centered on their blog, but they’ve cross-posted it on Howard Dean’s Democracy For America blog as well, and they’re asking people to pollinate the discussion into their own online communities. The goal is to get the widest possible range of ideas on how SEIU should shape its strategy.
It’s good to see a labor union that’s gotten on the cluetrain…

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's. ESPECIALLY not my employer's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. (Unless you consider staying employed in this economy a miracle.) I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
