Glad to be enlightened, clearly this doesn’t happen, since you haven’t experienced it.
Big construction sites where I live definitely have such people, and it’s a horrible job.

nesc@lemmy.cafe 1 day agoDon’t know where do you live, but around here there is no construction jobs that only require you only to carry shit around. Also you need to learn a lot to carry shit around correctly unless you have spare back.

I’m Quebec they’re called “journaliers” and being assigned to the Mason as a “journalier” sucks big time.
It’s the entry level position in construction for people who didn’t get a professional degree in a specific trade.

I think they are called handyman in english, and it’s an extremely hard and shitty job that doesn’t require a lot of learning, true, it does require skill to do it properly and efficiently, and in way that won’t leave you invalid by 40. Good handymen often learn other skills and obtain ‘real’ profession, so it’s more like a starter point of a career for many.

No. A handyman is a skilled role.
The guy bringing timber and wallboard up the stairs to where that guy is working is a site labourer.
