    Unskilled is a term bosses use to devalue a workers labor and value.

    What is your acceptable term to describe “a level of competence most human beings have that an employer can spend a only a few hours of training with that person that the person will attend a level of acumen they can perform the job function” ?

        “labor”

        We’re talking about a specific segment of labor. What is your word that indicates the position requires no special training or education that the employer cannot or will not provide?

            Exactly.

            Stop trying to artificially divide ourselves into small groups that fight eachother.

            Thats exactly what the C-Suites want.

            They want us hating eachother and fighting eachother, so we cant unify against them for better pay and benefits for everyone.

            Labor is labor. Some labor takes more training than others, but we’re all in this together as one. The fast food employee is not the enemy of the welder. The cleaning crew is not the enemy of the linemen. our only enemy is those who seek to divide us, under value us, and exploit us to fuel their own excess.
