How does this work in your mind? Slowly society moves from primary industry, horrible jobs to a different class of labor; and along the way all collective bargaining should be surrended because the capital side of the equation is beneficial and benevolent, all the time?
Its an entirely false division: someone working in a factory a hundred years ago facing being maimed, vs a white collar worker facing sexual harrassment or systemic bullying today are both examples of real harm, and both deserve collective action to protect the worker interests.
I wouldn't be so confident it's a "neutral platform". The name Wobbly comes from the nickname for the Industrial Workers of The World, a far-left organization that, among other things, advocates against trade unions in favor of "One Big Union" and advocates for class war, revolution, and the end of capitalism.

> Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organise as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the earth
> It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organised, not only for everyday struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been overthrown
Unions got us the 5 day work-week, here's hoping this platform enables workers to agitate for the 4 day work week, higher minimum wages, paid family leave (we are one of two countries that doesn't guarantee it), etc.
But I really don’t think there’s any risk to others by doing this, so I think it’s more than fine.
