Comment International IT Professional Organization (Score 1) 761

If not a Union at least a professional organization where employer abuses are discussed and notices sent to members not to work for them OR work for them at a premium.

I present to you EA as an example. Where more and more people are thinking twice about working for them if they have a choice.

This has to be a truly global/international organization, since the unit of work and the work environment have been virtualized.
We need to setup international chapters/branches for all the countries where this work can be off-shored and contracted, this way we keep the membership informed on work conditions, remuneration and decisions made by the organization.

If this works, there wouldn't be a need for Anonymous, a simple alert bulletin to all affected members could render any offending employer without any professional services at a global scale.

I remember having a talk with an International Relations professor at university, he said (I'm paraphrasing) that in the international arena all nations have to fend for themselves eventually and that is defined as Realpolitik. The example was that if all nations were boats on the ocean, the size of each boat representing the power and influence of each nation, and if some big boat makes waves then all smaller boats will have to align themselves to the incoming ripples. The smaller you are the hardest the hit if you don't align yourself quickly.

So... for Sealand... I think it could be easily be overrun by the Bolivian Navy.
