May sound like 
but I am actually curious here.
Does seem like all you're doing is helping labor aristocrats get better access to tasty treats.

I mean depends on the list of demands innit?
lib-brained hypothetical starbucks strike demanding "fair" coffee has clearly progressive goals in their sights. demanding self-management or reduced worker hours is also generally progressive as raising class consciousness, regardless of anything else.
Wanting flat higher salary if you dependent on the global south for your work might be more in the social fascism territory, cause you don't show solidarity or worker consciousness. At the same, if we take something like a grocery store, they don't have margins to afford higher prices for products, you simply can't win that demand, but you can ask for different management scheme or salary.
Librarians/teachers/leisure workers are very iffily connected to global south exploitation, something like dock workers (or iam, curse their name) are more directly.
*Don't forget, what you mainly see on the internet is top 20/40 percent comfie american aristocrats, bottom 2 quintiles are struggling, but they aren't posting on the internet on 15k a year
