    A lot of right wing strategy is about eliding the difference between company drivers & owner-operators. It's a trick to disguise a typically reactionary constituency with the mantle of the working class.https://twitter.com/RZNWAMedia/status/1490774263560871943 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Atop a what ~80% of truckers in Canada are company drivers, ~20 are owner-operators. When I say owners I am talking about OWNERS, i.e. the people who own trucking fleets and subject their drivers to abysmal working conditions (to the extent they make up 80% of labor violations) https://twitter.com/InfraHaz/status/1490763110256418816 …

        Because Canadians conventionally avoid class analysis, in favour breaking relations down by household income- we’re easy marks for this.

        Uh, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what ‘owner-operator’ means in trucking. Read up on it, many actual truckers feel it’s a more exploitative arrangement than being a company driver, and they’re often right. It’s akin to tenant farming in some ways.
