Using the words working people to refer to salaried employees and union members as if other people don't work is a smear to all the other people who work, instead of sitting back and living on the dole.
I understood the author's point from the git go. I did not wish to make any comment about the worth of that assertion, just the choice of words.
If you like the word choice, fine. I don't.

You’re too sensitive.
“Working people” simply means those that are fully dependent on the income from their job.
