Temps Demand a New Deal
http://www.alternet.org/story/230/

Beneath the gilded veneer of dot.com millionaires and a soaring stock market, a class war is brewing. Nearly one-third of America's workers -- about 30 million -- toil in temporary or contract jobs, without benefits or job security. The explosion of temping poses what may be organized labor's greatest challenge since World War II: organizing the swelling ranks of temps, day laborers, contract and leased workers whose perpetual job insecurity forms the porous foundation of today's supposedly stellar economy.
