Sounds pretty good to me.  My only problem is with 
the name, which sounds a bit awkward to me and is 
not expandable.  What are other possibilities?

can.workers.hi-tech would be expandable if someone
wanted to open a group for other kinds of workers, eg,

can.workers.domestic
can.workers.blue-collar
can.workers.clerical
can.workers.government
etc.

Otherwise, good luck.
