factory laborers

Manufacturing floor staff

Factory laborers are workers who perform manual or semi-skilled tasks in manufacturing facilities.

The term emphasizes physical work on production lines, assembly, or machine operation rather than management or technical roles: The strike was led by factory laborers demanding better conditions.

The phrase often carries connotations of industrial-era working-class employment.
