Around my workplace, the bargaining units use 'craft' and 'trade' pretty much interchangeably. A plumber, electrician, millwright, draughtsman, machinist, ... might be referred to as either a 'craftsman' or 'tradesman'. I know that 'craft' sometimes carries the small-scale, bespoke-work connotation, as in 'hand-crafted' but I'm not too uncomfortable with describing carpentry (even framing work), masonry or steamfitting as 'crafts'. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
