ribit,
In regards to your offhanded remark about my sounding like I "really want to be a politician...in 1917," I take offense. Firstly, it is you who is projecting this caricature onto me with your insistence that *I* define what designers *I* am trying to cover, what *I* want to call this union, etc.
I'll agree to call this union whatever its members decide (assuming, for a moment, that designers can be convinced of the need for a union). I simply want to raise these concerns. I want to HELP bring them to the forefront and introduce unionization as a serious consideration.
Although my prime objective was to enlish other designers to help build some sort of website where these concerns can first be addressed. As this is not an individual endeavor, I have no right to make these decisions for what you so callously call "my venture."
Secondly, I object to the fact that you think these concerns are antiquated, perhaps better left to history lessons dealing with the Russian Revolution.
Again, this should be OUR union, where WE (not me) make the decisions, where we negotiate contracts, elect representatives, act together.
While I have no affiliation with WashTech (a union/advocacy organization for IT workers), they have a decent FAQ section that might explain some things.
I have other reference links for those interested.
