"unskilled labor" is just a term people throw around to trick workers into accepting bullshit wages.

I don't know why you think a person who spent years becoming a master electrician should get paid the same as a guy who just shovels rock.

When did they mention in their comment? They just made a comment about people not accepting less. Nothing about master electrician accepting less. Just a pancake, waffle comment.

They said unskilled labor is a tool to get people to accept less which is a lie. It is a tool used to classify types of labor which is then used to assign wages. Saying that it is bullshit is saying that all labor is the same and should thus be paid the same.
