Talk:Blue-collar worker

message: This article could use some serious work.  I'm not a regular editor here, and I'm not sure how to get one of the "needs editing" banners at the top, but it needs one.  The bit about blue-collar football teams strikes me as especially unprofessional.

message: The article includes an opinion: "Blue collar jobs may be represented by trade unions, in which case skilled jobs may pay very well compared to white collar jobs." I am not native english speaker, so tell me if i'm wrong but i think it means: "Workers united in labor unions earn more" If so, this is totally a POV. E7th04sh (talk) 11:25, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The following is not a sentence. "The term uniform  dress codes of industrial workplaces." I'm not sure what the editor had in mind when they included this phrase, so I removed it. If anyone else knows, please fix it. Anthon01 (talk) 10:45, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This section would benefit from some breakdown into 'blue-collar subcategories' and some statistics.  Even without subcategories, what proportion of shift (in terms of the blue-collar compoent of the work force) has actually occurred?
Bluecollar work is still there.  I say this because it's obvious that every nation is still going to have a lot of blue-collar jobs, if these jobs are defined in terms of manual work, less post-secondary education required, and 'getting dirty' during the workday.  Think about: building-maintenance people; the ground-level workers in electrical, water-supply, city-sewer system, trash processing; road building and maintenance; building-construction; automobile maintenance; longshore; commercial and domestic moving; carpentry; railroads; aeronautical construction and maintenance; groundswork (parks, golf courses, schoolyards, etc) and many, many other jobs. These don't go away.
I have no doubt that, as the article now conveys, a proportional shift has occurred.  But to what degree has this actually changed the overall picture of employment in the U.S.?  Quantify it a little, please.Joel Russ (talk) 23:22, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Besides the Trump election, should not be some references to the blue collar-workers being historically very left-wing, and the main support group of the Communist parties in many countries? Like it is, is a bit of "recentism"---MiguelMadeira (talk) 23:27, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
