I work in construction and I don’t know that I agree. They’re digging a tunnel for a road, not mining, and earthworks crews generally consistent of equipment operators and labourers.

That’s funny. We would never call someone doing specialized work like digging a tunnel through a mountain just laborers in the US.
Edit: and it’s very funny that wildcat miners are the ones that saved them
