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.

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
