On top of the issue you mentioned, and along with another comment referring to machine operators, the capital class sees us as meat machines, not people. Especially machine operators, even in my own job some people refer to them as button pressers... I'm in a psudo-supervisor type position but I'm not viewed as any more than a meat machine either... We're "undeserving" of any proper treatment because we "don't create value" we're just "necessary" like power is necessary.
