Ever wanted to go on strike, be part of that feeling of solidarity on
the picket line, but felt too cowardly to take the risk? September
should see just the opportunity for you.

planning a most novel form of industrial action – a strike on Second
Life – and it wants as many avatars as possible manning the picket
lines.
