It is a HUGE problem now in IT and related industries.
Believe me - if we saw it on this scale for financial people, teachers, fireman, etc. - there would be huge
outcries - much more than you have seen.

The white-collar IT group is not organized like these other groups. No unions. But - if this keeps going - I think it will become more organized.

thanks for the link also. good info there.

as I said, if it were happening to say teachers or policemen, you would have the unions sreaming bloody hell here in the US.

Orgs like that one will have to organize and apply their own political pressure.
