My friend Barbara Ehrenreich has launched a new organization:

Washington, DC Sep 07, 2006 Two days after Labor Day, best selling author Barbara Ehrenreich announces the launch of United Professionals (“UP”): “We waited until after Labor Day because UP represents the next step in the mobilization of wage earners. While working on Bait & Switch in 2005, I met many white collar workers who are unemployed or underemployed and anxious about outsourcing, downsizing and their increasingly futile pursuit of the American Dream. I realized these professionals needed their own network.”

See UP here.
