Blogdex 11 January - Blog Rights
Ellen Simonetti, Queen of Sky, who keeps Diary of a (Fired) Flight Attendant, is posting again.
Also, set up The Blogger's Rights Blog at journalspace.com
International Bloggers’ Bill of Rights
Hopefully, lawyers, of which there are a sizable number in Ellen's home country, can russle up something a bit more sophisticated.
We, the inhabitants of the Blogosphere, do hereby proclaim that bloggers everywhere are entitled to the following basic rights:
FREEDOM TO BLOG.
FREEDOM FROM PERSECUTION AND RETALIATION BECAUSE OF OUR BLOGS:
1.) If an employer wishes to discipline an employee because of his/her blog, it must first establish clear-cut blogging policies and distribute these to all of its employees.
2.) Blogging employees shall be given warning before being disciplined because of their blogs.
3.) NO ONE shall be fired because of his/her blog, unless the employer can prove that the blogger did intentional damage to said employer through the blog.
Blogophobic companies, who violate the Bloggers’ Bill of Rights, will be blacklisted by millions of bloggers the world over.
Signed,
(by 50 webloggers)
There are links to a few articles at my post 3 January 2005 - Work Blogs
strip:
Looming pitfalls of work blogs by Jo Twist at BBC News, today, has a set of interesting links to associated topics and a list of "Blogs and legal pitfalls", including : Blogger reveal their motives, (highlighting Random acts of Reality, the blog of a London ambulance driver). Note "12 rules of blogging" in side panel, which work bloggers would find useful.
