Hotmail: Not Safe For Work?
silentknight writes "According to MSNBC, web-based e-mail providers such as Yahoo and Hotmail may not be a haven for your private e-mail anymore. At least not while you're at work. SpectorSoft is introducing eBlaster, which aims to "secretly forward all e-mail coming and going through such Web-based accounts to a spy's e-mail". Corporations will most likely argue that, because of sites like Internal Memos, companies need to keep a tighter grip on the information that flows in and out of their companies. But attempting to spying on private e-mail?? In the words of Homer J. Simpson: "Butt out, Buttinsky"."
Yes, bonded slavery has been replaced by wage slavery. Greedy businessmen think they own us. They would pay us nothing, and have taskmasters whipping us if they had their way. It is time organized labor got off its fat ass and protected the rights of all workers, not just dues paying members of their union. It seems that established unions have become just another business, and are no longer run by people who work in the industries they allegedly serve, or a lot more of us would join a union.
How ya like dat?
