From the Blog Working Life:

"A few days after the Teamsters BBQ at the YearlyKos convention (see video on WorkingLife TV), a blogger named Shockwave posted a Call to Action to Kos bloggers asking them to get involved in helping the Teamsters organize school bus workers. The result has been an ongoing conversation on DailyKos about the different ways that the netroots can work with the Teamsters on this campaign."

Of course the most ironic

Of course the most ironic thing about the original article is this little blurb before it starts. "Note to reader: Natasha Winegar, Jonathan’s assistant, wrote this post. While Jonathan is away on vacation for the next week, I will be posting in his place."

So some higher up in the union has his assistant put out an article with his byline and his photo while he is out on vacation. Is it just me or is it rather ironic that the union boss gets the byline while the unnamed worker does the work? ;)
