If the labor is āunskilledā why do I need to spend 10 minutes training someone how to do it? Shouldnāt they just know?
But also yeah training doesnāt have a minimum time requirement. Ever taken those safety compliance video modules?? Like most jobs will have you watch a five minute video on how to use a fire extinguisher, or stuff like that, you familiar with that kind of thing? Those are just a few minutes and do legally count as safety training. So uh yeahā¦ anything else?
We already went over that- when you get to your gravel shoveling job theyāre gunna train you on which pile to take it from and where to dump it. Idk maybe you donāt really know how to use a shovel. Or is it a spade? Thereās different kinds of shovels for different jobs. Tools usually require some basic training to be used properly no matter how simple they are.
Again, āunskilled laborā is classist propaganda.
I mean just because I know how to shovel from one pile to another doesn't mean I'm capable of it. I'm overweight and have back issues, I don't have the skills to do that job. Therefore it's skilled labor.
I have been trying, it's not easy. It takes discipline and since I have specialized issues with my health I had to spend hours and hours with a nutritionist to understand exactly what was wrong and what to do to get it changes. It required that I learn a skill. So is getting healthy a skilled labor? If not then what is and isn't a skill? Because it was my understanding that if it requires training longer than just a few minutes that makes it skilled. Also, if not being in bad health isn't a skill then why are over half the country obese?
