The 12 hour virtual protest and organizers expect an attendance between 800 and 1000 people from over 18 different countries, in solidarity with Italian IBM workers. "This is the first trade union protest ever staged in the virtual world," said general secretary Philip Jennings of UNI Global Union speaking in New York. "During the negotiations for the contract additional IBM Italy - As it says on the site of the RSU at IBM in Vimercate, national co-ordination, supported by the majority of workers, has prompted discussion among the points in an increase in performance bonuses. IBM responded by deleting the union agreement on the "performance bonus", which means a loss about 1000 € a year for every IBM employee. " IBM workers on the site are illustrated instructions for using the new form of protest and the precautions to be taken against any covert or provocative: "Since the protest will have the characteristics of a public event, it could attract some avatars that will cause disturbance to the event How could hypothetically happen for all public events. IBM may also send people to these objectives - the organizers warn - or simply could reach people who do not approve of public events like this or do not like the trade union activities. " In short, the virtual target of the demonstrators is to prevent intruders can «insultare gli altri avatars, offrire animazioni che se eseguite bloccheranno gli avatar stessi, o utilizzare oggetti inappropriati sul luogo della protesta». Il consiglio ai partecipanti: «Se vedi qualcosa di questo genere o senti qualcosa di improprio durante lo svolgimento pacifico della nostra protesta, contatta immediatamente «uniglobalunion oh» o «hayduke ebisu» (in inglese) o «barillo kohnke» (in italiano) che si occuperanno di gestire la situazione». Le modalità di partecipazione alla manifestazione sono elencate sul sito www.rsuibmvimercate.it passo dopo passo, fino ad arrivare a cliccare «su uno dei bottoni del teletrasporto sulla Piattaforma Centrale» da cui «automaticamente will be transported to one of IBM's islands in Second Life or another location where manifest. Meet our staff who will welcome you in every destination of the protest. " With a warning: "The Teleport will not work if there are too many people at the same time, or if IBM has closed its islands to stop the protest. If the transporter does not work, go back to the central platform and other test with a `destination '. And as the last recommendation, once arrived at destination "you'll see one or more members of our staff who will wear a large white sign. Read the instructions on the sign, meet other protesters ... And have fun. "
