Blog for the FutureThe Service Employees International Union (SEIU) takes the "Wal-Martization" of the economy straight to the blogosphere with its new Fight for the Future blog.
From the SEIU Justice at Work listserv:
"On Monday, SEIU kicks off the first phase in a new campaign, called Justice at Work, to mobilize the power of the web to stop what commentators have called the "Wal-Martization" of the American economy. We're starting this campaign with a cross-blog discussion, asking people to share their ideas about our strategy. In this experimental dialogue, we will raise questions, ask for feedback, and solicit creative ideas on SEIU's "Fight for the Future" blog, and ask that other blogs help spread the word."
While we don't yet have Wal-Mart inside the District, there certainly are big-box and chain stores. With them comes a new economy that creates scores of low-wage, no-benefits jobs. How does all of this impact us here in Washington, and what can we do about it? Use the "Comments" section below to discuss the DC-specific impact of this new economy.
