10:25 am - May 1
In honor of International Workers Day, please comment with your best workplace sabotage story. I just got my internet back, (an hour of tracing exactly which cable was defective, fun!) and I have to go to work, but I'll write a good one up for next week. Wildcat worker action, strike support, individual maintance of one's self-esteem, flat out vengeance... let's hear it all, workers.

08:31 am - My poll revisited
Oh polls! Again, the perfect way to get internet attention when I don’t have time to write. I think I will post my Co-op Anti-Dysfunction Pledge later in the week though. Some actual new content on my journal. Whoo-hoo!
Why this poll? Mostly I was curious what people would say. Honestly, I still have the residual feeling that internet users would not identify as working class so I was surprised to see it running neck and neck for so long. I also felt like there should be some discussion of labor and class on Labor Day. Even if it’s Sell-Out, Business Unionism Day and not May 1. But I’d never kick a holiday out of bed so read the previous sentence as pure hyperbole.
Mostly we’re Americans from the US here, so I assumed the discussion would be all over the place. The discussion of class in this country is confusing. I don’t think it’s any accident that people who insisted on the phrase "relation to the means of production" were a Canadian, a Brit, and a Trot. Not that I don’t love you all for it! But in this "post industrial" world, at least our part of it, I do think that phrase is more of a abstraction than ever. Maybe I’m wrong.
( Here are some thoughts and questions about your responses: )
