This is not an accident, this is their business model - whiterabbit Posted: Jun 24th, 2016 - 9:49 am In Reply to: OOW - sickened
Yes, even if you are OOW, they are still looking for employees. First of all, they have a regular turnover so they're constantly filling in those spots.
But there is a second reason they're not troubled by the scarcity of work for their employees. If you're feeling anxious about money, you'll hover around your work station all day waiting for work to come in. How else are they going to keep their workforce motivated? It's sure not going to happen if everyone has enough work, is it?
This isn't an accident or poor planning on their part. THIS IS THEIR BUSINESS MODEL. They are doing this deliberately. It's like the sweatshops of old, where they had people bent over sewing machines being paid pennies to work long hours. The shop bosses knew how to keep those workers working, because they also had a bench in the workshop where a long line of unpaid hopefuls would sit, waiting for one of the workers to burn out or get injured or not meet her quota. The minute someone stepped away from her machine, she was replaced by one of those hopefuls who now had a job. The shop bosses knew that there was no better way to run a sweatshop than to keep workers pitted against each other, fighting over the meager amount of work that was available.
It was when the workers began to organize and UNIONIZE that things began to change for garment workers.
