I didn't read the source citation, but changing this to neutral language could potentially make it harder to connect to the source. As demonstrated in this thread it is a less known slur and someone checking the article against the source may not be able to make the connection.

Given the sensitive language they should have attempted a better citation to show that it was the language of the source and not the author.

Yeah I don't know why it doesn't just have a cite/reference note attached to it. Leave it at "labourers" and then have a note on it about how the people are actually referred to in the cited material with a link to the actual Wiki article on the term.
