When one has spent half a day learning to pack boxes, then a week learning to do it quick enough, I’ll grant they have acquired a skill. Probably not a transferable skill, but definitely a skill

Take as much time as you need to provide these four pieces of data that would back up your claim.
Fine. Maybe an analogy will help. If you say X = 2 and I say that it does not, does that mean I am saying it is equal to 3? You made an assertion, I reject your assertion, that doesn’t mean anything else. A does not imply B in this case.
Unskilled labor does not mean it should be done for free. No one is saying that, except you. Because that strawman is able to defeat.
Work is activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. Something unskilled isn’t work. Not sure what’s so hard to understand.
I have a master’s degree, but I can honestly say working at Wendy’s took just as much skill as what I do now. “People” who use terms like “unskilled labor” are part of the problem. There’s no such thing as “unskilled labor.” I’m agreeing with you.
Skilled labor is something that you need outside training in order to do.
When someone is an ‘unskilled worker,’ it means they’re only eligible for positions that train them.
Nevertheless, a worker who has been trained is a worker who has become skilled.
A worker who has been trained on a job site is worker who has become skilled in work at the job site.

It’s still unskilled work
Name one thing that doesn’t require outside skill. Literally nothing you know in your life you learned on your own.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, just what people intend to mean when they say unskilled labor.
The “people” who intend to mean that I shouldn’t even be paid aren’t people.
It is not about compensation. If the work is unskilled it is unskilled. How much it should be paid is a different discussion.
The people who invented the term invented it to justify low or no pay

This is not a genuine ask. You just don’t want to acknowledge propaganda.
No work is deserving of such scorn and disrespect. All work requires effort and should be recognised as such.
Don’t tell me what my intentions are you are not a mind reader. And don’t imply something I didn’t say.
Now how are citations going?
I can’t fathom cognitive dissonance of being able to say unskilled and implying it isn’t equivalent to $0
Well, theory of mind is a skill.

My dude, are you seriously in here arguing that unskilled labor doesn’t deserve pay? Wow, how vile. Good troll.
Oh not going to defend your old argument anymore? This is the skill of deflection.

I only have a bachelor’s degree and can honestly say that there is no way I can do my job without it.
Packing boxes, unless you mean “outside training” to include walking and talking
It’s unskilled in terms that any moderately competent person can do the job and become proficient at it quickly
My skilled job required tertiary education, plus about two years on the job for a person to become good at it
