Comment on "workers" is a dehumanizing term

A humans’ union?

We cannot fight alienation by linguistic means alone.

“Dock workers”, “construction worker” are relevant terms and replacing the terms with imprecise labels like “construction human” has the risk of even further reduction, because now not only is people’s work activity tied to their label, but their humanity.
