I subscribe to Mother Jones magazine and the March/April issue has some great stuff in it. Since my copy arrived last week I've been checking motherjones.com every day, waiting for this article to go online so I could link y'all to it. It's called I Was a Warehouse Wage Slave and if anything deserves to be called a must-read, this one does. The reporter, Mac McClelland, takes a job at one of those monster warehouses that online retailers ship their goods from and describes her experience. Is this the future of work in America ? Should we really be applauding the demise of "brick-and-mortar" retailing ? Is this what lickspittle pundits like Tom Friedman mean when they tell us that we must compete with China ? Lots to think about. Read the article, share it widely.
