This morning, 17 boiler workers at the Ford plant in Oakville went off the job, essentially closing down production of the one of the largest manufacturing plants in Ontario and preventing thousands of assembly line workers from starting their shift.
The reason? They found out that 4 of their colleagues were going to lose their jobs. Instead of seeing those 4 jobs go, all 17 boiler workers stood in solidarity, walked off the job and created a visual distraction from the QEW, one of Canada’s busiest highways, and grinding it to a crawl.
Blogosphere has already flexed its mighty muscle and can be a nasty beast if you rub it the wrong way. Podosphere has yet to show how powerful it can be.
Apple’s cease & desist letters to Podcast Ready is others is podosphere’s first test. How will it rally around those companies who have received these letters from Apple? Will podosphere be like those 17 boiler workers - small in numbers, mighty in spirit - and finally show that it’s the David to Apple’s Goliath?
