   It’s okay Steve, I’ll bust you out of that blogging sweatshop one day.

   You were the one who put me in here in the first place, and you busted the bloggers union I tried to set up.

   Is the blogger’s union compulsory membership and must you vote for Labour?

   No, A P, most unionised bloggers are smart enough to do so anyway 😉

   No, but you have to be able to type 70 wpm and to dissolve steel with your caustic wit.

   Steve: you and i both know we were never going to improve blogging productivity with the unions holding us back.

   AP: the BUNZ is an anarcho-syndicalist union based on free association and direct action, and recognises parliamentary democracy for the bourgeois sham it is.

    Phil, not at all!

    Anarcho-syndicalism is a branch of anarchism which focuses on the labour movement.[1] Syndicalisme is a French word meaning “trade unionism” hence, the “syndicalism” qualification. Anarcho-syndicalists view labour unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the State with a new society democratically self-managed by workers.

    ironically, that wikipedia extract is taken from Tane’s doctoral dissertation titled “anarchism and unionism: they’re not mutually exclusive, damn it!”
