RE: UKNM: New Media Unions

[Trevor Spink]

I'm not sure a 'union' is really what is needed, more of a proffesional

association. To promote best practice, high standards and lobby the

government on legislation in the new media field, such as online-taxation

and censorship. Provide legal advice. To be a point of referance to

educational institutons regarding planning degree courses, etc. More along

the lines of the BMA rather than the TGWU.


So as to be a member looks benifitial and professional to employers rather

than 'I'm going to down tools if I don't get a coffee break.'


We are all highly paid proffesionals not factory workers on minimum wage.

(One would hope..)

I agree, but it raises some perplexing issues. Also, if we go on strike it's

hardly going to be like Orgreave - do we foresake our Apricot Lattes in the

name of

unity, or refuse to oil our scooters in memory of the Jarrow March?
