Nothing new here it happened to me as a 17 yr old factory worker, I would routinely get 42hrs a week and only be paid for 39 hrs. If the line broke down we were off payroll until it came back up and could not leave. No air conditioning, minimum wage was $1.10 an hour.

My Great Uncle worked worked for Ford during the $5 an hour days as a millwright in the ‘20s. Everyone got docked when the line went down.
