The existence of conflicts between white and blue collar workers long predates my own birth!

"There is a tremendous amount of job loss from both groups and I feel that we're all in this together and need to stand up for one another."

I'm sorry, but white collar and blue collar workers have never been in solidarity with one another in this country. Never.

Again, the official policy of this country is a Labor market that is completely unprotected from competition with workers in third world dictatorships. Given this fact, I think its unrealistic and unfair to expect a different set of rules for IT workers.

In an ideal world, we would protect the jobs of all workers from unfair competition. But seeing as we don't, it seems more fair to me to protect none. It is my opinion that the policies of globalism and outsourcing will only end when the pain is more equally distributed. We still have a long way to go to get there.
