Thanks. With respect to the author, it seems like an artful dodge to me, more about administration than struggle. If a jobs crisis isn't the time to start discussions about work, then capitalism is now and forever victorious.

I agree with all of Max's post and would only add that OWS is not in a position to demand anything now. Issuing them sounds like a good way to kill a movement to me, like the premature breast or cock grope on a first date.

Chris Carlsson is spot on: http://www.processedworld.com/carlsson/nowtopian/work-and-the-economy/jobs-dont-work-2
