re: #174 Belafon

Why should white-collar workers be treated any differently than blue-collar ones? Speaking as a white-collar worker, this may be the only way some of my coworkers learn about the need for workers to stand together.

I agree with you about the need for workers to stand together (I work in a place where everyone, even the white collar workers, belong to a union).

That said, your first sentence uses the argument that everyone uses when trashing unions: Why should that group get a different deal than my group? It’s the very definition of divide-and-conquer.

edit: You may not have meant anything by it, but it jumped out at me because some people are pissed that I get to be in a union (I’m in government).
