    Everyone needs a union. Engineers, software developers, secretaries, even supervisors and managers. All of us get fucked over by the executives.

      Yeah I don’t have much time for the “are professional workers working class debate,” I just extend to whether you have to work for a living. Obviously there’s PMC class privilege in certain ways and I think it’s good to discuss that but I’m not in to the exclusionary side of that. Petite-bourgeois is more about the values they borrow from the bourgeois on account of having more access to conspicuous consumption so that’s where I’m a PMC class traitor.

      Managers usually work on behalf of executives so that line has to be carefully determined. In my union supervisors are union and managers aren’t.
