The other day I wrote about an interesting development in industrial conflict - IBM workers planning a virtual strike.

Since then more details have emerged, certainly in terms of being given more attention by labour writers.

For instance, Derek Blackadder, writing for Straight Goods, recently wrote an article on the matter called Avatars of the world, unite! Italian union's virtual demonstration against IBM launches new world of job actions.

Blackadder, in brief, examines the virtual strike/demonstration in the context of whether unions have been able to grasp the benefits of new web-based communication technology.

For more details of how to get involved in the demonstrations or just curious of second life see the following link created by Union-Network.org.
