You are exactly right. With a phrase like "laptop class", he is obscuring the concept of social class. In reality, "laptop workers" and e.g. construction workers do not belong to a different social class. Both are part of the working class. It is of course an unsubstantiated claim that "they are asking everyone else to not work from home while they do". People are asking for better working conditions for themselves, making sure that other workers don't get the same benefits is obviously not part of what is being asked for.
