Using the definition provided by @damnedfurry@lemmy.world (appearing as “ObjectivityIncarnate”), yes, they meet that definition. Forklift drivers are not trained on the job, they need a specific licence. That makes it not unskilled labour.
You’re equivocating “skilled” in the same way the OP of this comment chain was to “unskilled”. You’re doing the equivalent of saying “a feather can’t be dark, because feathers are light.” Stop playing stupid semantic games.
In the context of labor metrics, “skilled” and “unskilled” are not descriptors of overall difficulty. I’ve already posted a reminder of what the terms mean in this context above your comment, so there’s no excuse.
lol, you gave me the mental image of someone opening the dictionary to look up a word, seeing its definition, then scoffing as you point at it, saying “That’s horseshit!”
These the same dictionaries carry identical definitions for “irregardless” and “regardless”? Anyways defining fork and spoon operators as “skilled” is literally horseshit, I don’t care about your labored justifications.

Your “reminder” is horseshit.
