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
I think it's time for you to be introduced to the concept of "cognitive work". We have been doing that for a few thousand years now.
So you, without a tiny bit of irony, would say you sitting at your desk is a labour job?
when tech folk get milked by every other merchant and pay extra, while getting ripped off.. we do feel like daily wage workers.
