    That supervisor has a distinct relationship with the means of production compared with other workers. His job (youā€™ll notice this strata of workers are almost always white men) is to extract the surplus value from other actual workers, and because of this he is actually being paid the full value of his labor. This makes his class position distinct from other workers.

    Thatā€™s why you donā€™t tell the supervisor about the union until itā€™s too late for him to stop you.

      Yeah I hear you Iā€™m just saying those dudes are part of the proles and you need necessary to buy in from them in an organization for anything to really change.

        Theyā€™re bourgeoisified by their relationship to the means of production. They are paid the full value of their labor through bonuses and high wages and stock option, they donā€™t need unions and we donā€™t need them.
