Words are dynamite

Abstract

"An erroneous use of words has been instilled into relations between employers and employees, and even those who do not believe there is real class hatred fan its fires by constant misuse of those words." This concept is developed with such words as labor, management, worker, demands, and grievance. It is good psychological practice to "bring the truth to the surface and deal with it instead of being led into a devastating mirage of misconception and untruth by use of emotionally toned words."
