Using the ontological lens of sociomateriality with the theoretical notion of struggle, this critical ethnography explores interactions within an unemployment support organization run by white collar workers who train working class populations for skilled blue collar occupations. Results illustrate how sociomaterial struggle is enacted in two ways: struggle against embodied others and struggle against discursive forces. The first theme, struggle for control, occurs between blue collar trainees and white collar trainers. Second, the struggle for upward mobility, occurs when trainers and trainees struggled alongside one another in collaboration toward the goal of upward mobility. Participants' struggles organize in a complex combination of materiality and discourse throughout this unemployment support organization, mirroring social class relations in the United States.

使用社会物质性的本体论视角和斗争的理论概念，这部批判性的民族志探讨了由白领工人经营的失业支持组织内的互动，这些组织为工人阶级培训熟练的蓝领职业。结果说明了社会物质斗争如何以两种方式进行：反对具身他人的斗争和反对话语力量的斗争。第一个主题，争夺控制权，发生在蓝领实习生和白领培训师之间。二、向上流动的斗争, 当培训师和受训者为实现向上流动的目标而相互协作时，就会发生这种情况。在这个失业支持组织中，参与者的斗争以物质性和话语的复杂组合形式组织起来，反映了美国的社会阶级关系。
