Bloggers of the World, Unite!

Check this out: http://www.yahoo.com/s/644751. I find this very interesting because as the article mentions, bloggers want blogging to become more professional. In this sense, this is like self-regulation, which I talked about in a past post of mine. In the spirit of free speech however, which I find is at the very heart of blogging, moves such as this could set back the movement of free speech.
It is also interesting to think of how the blog unions could work out collective bargaining agreements, and with whom they will conclude this agreement.
However, one thing that this article showed me is that if bloggers are already thiking of ways to protect themselves, especially with health care benefits, why is it that in the business process outsourcing sector of our economy, inroads have yet to be made in unionizing them? If ever there is, why is is so slow? I would like to think that unions should have been there when the first whiff of the BPO industry went around union circles.
