And yet the most unionized industry in the US (at like 75% of overall union membership) is white-collar federal employment.

There's nothing working class about that.

Working class are people that have to sell their labour to get income; capitalist class are those that live off capital income. (Dividends, rent, etc)

If someone is employed in a government organization, like the CDC or a secretary of the white house, and they don't have capital income then they are working class.
