IndustriALL represents both blue-collar and white-collar workers in the metal, chemical, energy, mining, textile and related industries throughout the world.
Organizing white-collar workers is crucial for unions as industry undergoes radical change due to digitalization and new technologies blur the traditional boundaries between blue-collar and white-collar jobs.
Efforts to meet climate change targets are also depleting blue-collar jobs while creating opportunities in technical white-collar roles.

White-collar workers include administrative, clerical, scientific, professional, supervisory and technical staff.
