Yes you have, the Screen Actors Guild is an industry-wide actor’s union. The Writers Guild of America is an industry-wide guild for writers. The Teamsters as well. Actually most “Blue Collar” unions are industry unions. Plumbers, carpenters, electricians, etc. all have industry-wide unions. It is a recent phenomenon relegated to service and sales industries that are forcing unions to be only at single stores instead of industry or even company wide.

Goes to show how effective the anti-union rhetoric has been. Fucking shame. Unions built modern America.

Both are true, tho one came first.

Tho they might not experience other oppressions, all working people are still exploited and dependent upon players to exist. And most oppressed people are working people. The working class does not mean just white people, the working class is diverse.

Like the other guy said, both are true, but also it should be mentioned that you can certainly be in a union and be oppressed.
