    Unskilled labour refers to those in the precarious and more easily replaced position of workers. It is used by labour advocates to identify those with a greater need for union representation.

    It isn’t an insult. And the never-ending euphemism treadmill only serves to divide generations and make a handful of people feel important.

    This knee-jerk reaction to the term “unskilled labour” reminds me of the one that replaced the term “ebonics” with “AAVE”, implying that the black men that came up with the term were offensive.
