These young people are not skivers.
They resent being regarded as a crowd of overpaid skivers who do not work hard enough and whose numbers should be cut by two or three in each department.
This group of people at that age are not the malingerers or the "skivers" whom we hear so much about in a number of industries today.
The skiver, the bogus sick and the persistent absentee are no friends of the workers on our shop floor.
Unfortunately, the idle, the skivers and the rogues are often very much better off than the conscientious ones.
These are not skivers or shirkers; they are men who genuinely want work and who cannot find it.
They are not skivers by any stretch of the imagination.
They are not; they are something very old in politics—skivers.
