FC: How Amazon responded to unionization, by Jonathan Cohn

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

[I might argue with some points, like the alleged benefits of
socialized health care, but I think Jonathan's article is very
well-reported and well-written. Well worth a read. --Declan]

Mr. McCullagh:

I'm a longtime subscriber to your e-mail list, and thought you might
be interested in my new article for the New Republic.  It's uses the
unionization effort at Amazon.com - and recent layoffs there - to
reexamine the assumptions about what the new economy workplace would
be like.

I'm not sure whether you'll find the philosophical perspective
entirely to your liking, but I thought you might find the article
provocative and interesting all the same.  Here's the URL:

Thanks, and thanks too for your excellent mailing list.

Best,

Jonathan Cohn
