Posted by Zonk on from the anonymous-blog-for-social-change dept.

Jaero writes "The Spouse has a followup post to her "EA: The Human Story" from over a month ago. Not only was it nominated for a Best Software Essay of 2004, but she has revealed plans to start an independent industry watchdog organization called GameWatch.org, meant to monitor the quality of life in the game development world. Anyone will be able to post their story, as well as design the logo (a contest which lasts until January 15th)."

    Have fun being unemployed while non-union workers, like myself, are hired. Unions have no place in the modern workplace and are a breeding ground for mediocrity.

    so, when all the programmers go on strike, what's to stop the company from just up and moving its programming department overseas?

    Unions have no place in the modern workplace and are a breeding ground for mediocrity.

    Spoken like someone who never had to work without benefit of a union's success.

    As you are randomly downsized and sold overseas, take comfort that you didn't give in and unionize when it could have saved your profession.

    (and don't try telling me that there are no unions for white-collar workers: what do you think bar associations and medical boards are?)
