Worker's

Even now, the typical worker's whole life is still bound up with the company he works for.

After being injured on the job, Tom's initial plan to sue his employer was halted when he was informed that the same law that had required his employer to carry Worker's Compensation Insurance for its employees also defined Tom as a statutory employee, and thus he had no legal right to file a separate tort claim.

I don't think he's a badmash. His hands are like a manual worker's.
