> The business loses employees to Walmart etc. despite the factory having higher pay and significantly better benefits.
Better pay + benefits than the most rock bottom lowest possible pay + benefits is really pathetic.
And based on the vagueness of your claims, we can assume full-time hours are also out of the picture, meaning no health insurance.
On top of that, tyranical small business owners are usually a nightmare to work for.
It's all full time 4x10 work with the employer covering 100% of health insurance premiums.
There's somethhing you're not telling us or not being honest about.
It's common. People would rather work in a Wal-Mart as it is more social and less demanding. The physical space is nicer.
It’s probably the hours. A lower middle class income is not worth losing my every waking hour over.
Decent chance given that it's a plastics plant probably not unionized and probably in a red state that the air is not healthy to breathe.
