Plural of benchman; multiple workers who perform tasks at workbenches.
Standard English plural formed by replacing '-man' with '-men'. Reflects the industrial era when factories employed dozens of specialized benchmen.
In early factories, benchmen were organized into strict hierarchies—apprentices, journeymen, and master craftsmen—mirroring the guild system that had trained skilled workers for centuries.
Plural of 'benchman' — inherits the male-default bias from the '-man' suffix even when referring to mixed-gender groups.
