[consulting] Drupal workers' interests [was Drupal Certification]

[Sam Cohen]

Union v Non-union doesn't even make sense to me in the context of Drupal.

First of all, who is management and who is the worker?  I run a one-person
web shop -- where do I fall?

Do I get to join and if I do, do I go  out on strike against myself?
