"Labor” is an antiquated term that excludes individuals who contribute to the American workforce but aren’t classified as conventional employees. “Labor” also carries a negative connotation that ignores the dignity of work; the term is something out of a Marxist textbook that fails to capture the accomplishments of the full spectrum of the American workforce.
The Left prefers the term labor because it creates a sense of enmity between employees and employers which union bosses and left-wing activists seek to stoke for political gain. This word also fails to capture how deeply intertwined workers and job creators are in their contributions to our economy.
Watch out! When Republicans begin waxing poetic about the dignity of work what they are fondly recalling is Slavery. The Republican Party is fully invested in destroying Unions, workplace safety, weekends, paid-sick leave, and every other 20th century progressive gain for workers in America.
That means the Pleasure of Working For Us for Free style Labor, I mean, "Workforce". But, while Republicans are masters at pounding home their propaganda (or pummeling perhaps) they are also lazy af and simply rely on the agitprop terms they've spent years repeating. A Marxist Textbook! Union Thugs! "Job Creators"! We haven't heard Republicans lavish praise on the Job Creators since they tried to claim President Obama's You Didn't Build That was an unprecedented scandal and the biggest affront to Capitalists since the abolition of slavery.
Because that's what Republicans yearn to bring back to the United States. The Dignity of Work is a time when people worked themselves from childhood to an early grave and don't have free time to agitate for woke social justice. Make America Great Again as it were, by shackling the American worker into perpetual corporate bondage and eternal wage slavery.
It should always be remembered Education & Labor Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC), is a vile bigot and ghoul, who like all vicious old Republicans hates the LGBTQ community and is more than willing to gaslight and excuse the mistreatment and murder of minorities,
"I also would like to point out that there was a bill -- the hate crimes bill that's called the Matthew Shepard bill is named after a very unfortunate incident that happened where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of a robbery. It wasn't because he was gay. This -- the bill was named for him, hate crimes bill was named for him, but it's really a hoax that that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills,"Virginia Foxx 2009.
