a good, but shaky, idea.
For my medical training I had to observe the undead in their natural habitat, as well as capture, disect, stitch up, and revive one of the fallen. I've seen these creatures interacting amongst their horde, and I think we've all had the misfortune of become one of the fallen ourselves.
With that being said, I can safely, with great certainty, say that the only thing to successfully train a zombie is another zombie. Yes, we have made friends with the undead, but they have demonstrated that overtime they have gained free will. You're talking about a zombie slave force.
Their horde mentality is feeble. We see ferals all around the city, doing as they wish, even fighting their own kind. We also have the humble folks at the library, who have made friendly interactions with the undead, even to a point of having a living/dead partnership. It won't be long until we'll have cross-planar marriages.
You cannot force the dead to work. Though it would be...convenient...to make a workforce out of them, it would be wrong, and we as scientists must stick to a certain level of morality. Last time we toyed with our morality, we started this mess...
