saltworkers
Evaporation pond laborers
Saltworkers are laborers who produce salt, whether by mining rock salt, evaporating seawater in coastal pans, or processing brine.
The work has historically been arduous and poorly paid: The saltworkers toiled under brutal conditions.
The term appears in historical and industrial contexts more than contemporary usage.
