I had the impression that, to the extent the terrain of the workplace has shifted from the classic industrial shop floor, working class organizing has been made more difficult. Are there successful strategies (or accounts of failed attempts) for organizing people isolated in their cubicles, or grouped in small firms of 25-50?

To take the Communist Horizon video as an example, likely many of the audience earn a precarious living as Web monkeys at the various financial, media and advertising corps in NYC. They're already predisposed to some sort of political thinking. How to organize them?

Best, Charles
