At the end of the day I'm selling labor and if they're an asshole I'm not selling. They don't control me or my life.
There is an argument for "unskilled" labor, tho. If you don't have enough leverage, to get a good job, making the one you have better with democracy might work. You just also take on more risk by sharing ownership.
You're selling your labor power for less than it is worth, even the nicest Capitalist steals from you and leaves you with no control over at least 40 hours per week.
All labor is labor, skilled labor is just compressed unskilled labor represented by the training required to recreate it expressed over the expected working lifetime of a worker.
