It's not nonsense if you understand what's going on...In fact it's a sign of efficiency...
Places like that have the labor/cost ratio worked out to a science...They do time studies to know how long it take a good worker to produce the necessary parts...
Those that are too slow don't make it...But then there are those who can produce faster...Many factories have specific space to store parts for the day...Other conditions dictate how many parts ahead are allowed to be made...
These places are sometime so efficient that when a person's job is completed for the day there isn't any where else to fill in to keep busy...Remember, these workers are feeding assembly lines and there isn't a lot of room to stack up parts...
You can't send the people home since no one wants a part time job that could change from day to day and it would be impossible to keep someone in that position...
Sure there are freeloaders...But they are the exception, not the rule...
Obvious union person so we can respectfully agree to disagree. Efficiency in work and cost would have kept more jobs here. In the work place like in the rest of American the loud and lazy hurt us all and American workers are mostly the best held back by the loud and lazy!
