I know we’re about as far from manufacturing/industry as it gets, but I think hospitality is pretty good ground for producing proletarians: we work in teams, long hours, late nights, most workplaces are very exploitative, we get pretty bad pay compared to most sectors. We don’t even get the much-vaunted “weekend” that was such a huge victory of the labour struggles all those years ago.
Yeah 100 %. The solidarity that comes about from all those 12 hour days, from the usually illegal working conditions, and finding your place in your adoptive restaurant fam is real as hell.
