It sure would be nice to have more open minded, diverse people working blue collar. It’s exhausting quietly listening to all these conservatives at work and feeling like I’m the only one who gives a damn.
same with public school custodial dept. i make over 20 an hour with no degree. but I’m pretty capped now because I’ve been here 7 years and the union isn’t strong enough to leverage the QOL raises we need and deserve.
i highly prefer blue collar but I also have medical limitations and there’s just not enough regulation for things like extreme heat in these physical type jobs, which has kept me from seriously considering working construction.
