This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Several Chronicle pressmen said they are upset that neither they nor their colleagues had been hired there. Union members of the Teamsters Local 853, which represents Chronicle delivery drivers and pressroom insert staff, want the plant unionized. They had been picketing it for alleged workplace violations until last week, when the protest was suspended temporarily so that union drivers could be trained on the pickup procedures at the new plant, said Rome Aloise, principal officer for Local 853.
Hmm, maybe because they can't afford unions anymore and turn a profit.
In particular, Murray was reacting to a June 24 letter that Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, and 14 of her Bay Area legislative colleagues sent to BART General Manager Dorothy Dugger. In their letter, the lawmakers raised concerns about BART's tough bargaining stance with the unions. Murray, however, recalled that it was local and state pols who stepped into the middle of BART's negotiations eight years ago to force a deal that gave the unions a 24 percent boost in salaries and benefits over four years.
