If you haven't heard or are reluctant to try Second Life, this is a great opportunity to test it out. It's quite amazing software. It's free to use and you'll have plenty of friendly unionists to help you figure out how to explore the digital universe that is Second Life. The gathering is being put together by forward thinking trade unionists sponsored and supported by some of Europe's largest union federations.
