For the Love of Labourers

You’d normally think everyone always roots for the little guy, right? Unfortunately, within the construction industry, labourers are under appreciated for the work they do. Of course, there are some bad apples (as there is with any job), but largely I think we need to be grateful for the work they do and give them the thanks they deserve.
