#labor: the United Auto Workers union is expected to strike against one or all three US major auto makers when the current contract expires September 14. "A more combative UAW has demanded a 46% pay raise, a 32-hour week with 40 hours of pay and a restoration of traditional pensions" https://www.axios.com/2023/09/05/uaw-strike-likely-detroit-automakers
All labour is labour. People who tell you that you're somehow not working-class because you work with your brain and a keyboard, and don't come home covered in grime from 16 hours of breaking stones in the misery mines, are not the friends of labour. They are the catspaws of capital. You are not better (or worse) than a coal miner or lumberjack. Your relationship to capital is exactly the same -- you trade labour for subsistence, to make the capitalist class richer.
