While discussing the notion of the “middle class” and its unionism, this chapter emphasizes the importance of ideology and class struggle in determining social classes. We try to show that the typical ideology of the middle class, the meritocratic ideology, gives rise to a particular type of unionism that differs from the unionism of manual workers in its objectives, ideology, forms of organization, and methods of struggle.
