assembly line workers
Manufacturing floor staff
Assembly line workers are employees who perform specific, repetitive tasks as products move past them on a conveyor system.
Each worker handles one step in the manufacturing process—attaching a component, inspecting for defects, packaging finished goods.
The term evokes factory labor that is steady but monotonous: Assembly line workers at the plant put in ten-hour shifts.
