Check out the International Bloggers' Bill of Rights, launched by Ellen Simonetti: she was fired by Delta for her "Diary of a Flight Attendant" blog.

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.

I am wholeheartedly in favor of this and related activities. Corporations need to wake up, and relax when it comes to the freedom of self-expression associated with blogging. Xenophobic mind control is far too common when companies are confronted with individuals who mention that they work for XYZ Corp in their personal blogs. There is an insidious notion that we are owned by the companies that employ us.

All power to the bloggers! Right on!
