Happy May Day

As May Day draws to a close on the GMT line in London, Union Island looks like a place that’s seen a party, with the stragglers heading off to bed, and debris to tidy up tomorrow. Many thanks to DJ Beta Bates, who gave us a great set for a great way to mark May Day 2008. Thanks too to all the people who came from more than a dozen countries - from the Western USA to Mongolia in the East and from South Africa to Norway - a very happy May Day to everyone.

Here’s the statement. Virtual worlds may be very far from people’s minds in Zimbabwe right now, but they are definitely in the minds of unionists from all over the globe. (more…)

May Day morning

A great May Day morning in Second Life. We’ve had visitors from all over the world - from the West of the USA to the East of Mongolia, taking in Russia, South Africa, Belgium, Spain and many more. Sessions this morning included Platoon Dukes from ver.di, discussing their campaign for a German minimum wage, a pretty chaotic 101 building class, which left prim debris strewn across the sandbox, and holding it all together, our capable bar-keep Wotcher Tenk of New Unionism Network, on hand to dispense wit and wisdom, and help network people from behind the bar.
