Eh… having unions sounds good to me… a white collar worker. I am just not considered part of the labour class by blue collar workers. So it makes me feel isolated. Don’t be mistaken, we keyboard thumpers already fight corporate bullshit daily. Th e disdain is from blue collar workers.

Unions can and still lead you to resources and help you unionize. You can’t blame blue collar workers.

I didn’t blame blue collar workers. I said I was isolated because even though both white collar and blue collar workers sell their labour for a living, somehow we are never accepted as real labour just because the elite among us make $500k a year for instance.

I mean you’re still the working class. But a desk job is quite literally not labour. Labour is physical work, specifically lol

My company will fire anyone who talks about unionizing. And with Republicans destroying the Labor protections once afforded by the government, that’s a really risky move to make.
