Revisiting the past: February 18 1999 and Temp's Rigths

This article about Temp's Rights by Samantha Shapiro  was published in The Stranger on February 18 1999. Unfortunately, 16 years later, high tech workers are hardly organized and most temps are still not provided with any of the basic benefits like paid sick leave, paid family leave, paid vacation. See also her other article published on June 27, 1999 about the Vizcaino vs Microsoft class action.
