What if your social media posting and liking, instead of being for fun, was your job?<\/p>\n
Or rather, what if you realized that it was work and you just weren\u2019t getting paid for it?<\/p>\n

At the end of March, 2015, RockeHearst Omnipresent Bundlers launched the following viral campaign:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/prezi.com\/fjaqyiznrbq8\/what-if\/<\/a><\/p>\n encouraging everyone to Tweet their stories about how great it is to Work for the Web<\/p>\n But the virus caught a cold.<\/p>\n And soon there were parody pages<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Which lead to the IWFW (International Web & FaceTwit Workers) movement, rising to demand payment for that unpaid labor. #IWFW <\/b>became the hashtag for complaining about all the work we do on the Internet for free. \u00a0It also became a rallying cry for those who dream of a better way! \u00a0Nighthawks<\/b>, an online watering hole for webworkers, became the site of the union solidarity movement.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And then, something happens the night of April 4th at Nighthawks. \u00a0Accounts vary, but it was bad. \u00a0Real bad. \u00a0Something like the Stonewall Riots or the Sleepy Lagoon Murder. \u00a0The union busters were there. \u00a0The organizers were there. \u00a0And you!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We want to hear from you.<\/p>\n During the week of April 6-13<\/b><\/p>\n What do you love or hate about your job?<\/p>\n Will you join the movement or stand by social media corporations?<\/p>\n What happened at Nighthawks the night of April 4?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the week the union busting megacorps and the movement agitators will clash head to head in Twitter. You will decide the outcome.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/meanwhilenetprov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IWFWtwitcloseup.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_cta admin_label=”Call To Action” title=”Where to Find %22I Work For The Web%22″ url_new_window=”off” use_background_color=”on” background_color=”#04756f” background_layout=”dark” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” custom_button=”off” button_letter_spacing=”0″ button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″]<\/p>\n The official “I Work For the Web” website<\/a><\/p>\n The presentation that started all the trouble<\/a><\/p>\n
