Postdocs and "Joe the Plumber"

So I am not a fan of "Joe the Plumber", by any means; however, a recent article in Science really hit home. It talks about how Ph.D.s in todays universities are forming labor unions when taking postdoc positions. It also talks about how, in a much earlier time, a Ph.D. meant literally that you received a teaching job, guaranteeing you employment. It is nicely historic and refreshing...enjoy!
