How about:

2: Serf
3 Indentured Servant
4 "The Beatings will continue until morale improves"
 
Catchy, no?

Hum. 

"New Labourer" sounds like you've suddenly got Peter Mandelson riding on your caravan Shocked and "Team Motivation" - especially when hostile armies pitch up - sounds too much like a Management Training team-building-paintballing-day-out gone horribly awry. 

As they always inevitably do, when the CTO realises that he can legitimately take the Finance Director away into a dark forest at gunpoint and shoot him repeatedly in the back of the head, all in the name of "team building".

Okay mister "Chain Gang" xD

How about;

Tier 1: Volunteer
Tier 2: Harvesting Tools
Tier 3: Rest Breaks (or Rewards, or just Motivation)
Tier 4: Task Master (or Supervisor, but i think Task Master sounds more "medieval")

Sorry, I really meant no disrespect to the designers.  Quite the opposite.  I think this is delightful game, obviously well made and thought through.  And I just wanted to offer what little insights I could to make the look/feel even better.
I like "Loading lines" myself.
