Well it's not UK specicfic but as there's only really workers and owners, they could be insecure about being a slightly better paid worker?

There are many taxonomies of people. Workers vs owners is one, and relates to the relationship between people and the means of production. Other taxonomies are young vs old, male vs female, and class structures with more than two classes. Notice that this thread has been about social class, more than economic class.
