This was a family owned biz? Somehow, I imagine, I'd feel better slogging for an SME than in an "externally-funded" place.

I'm guessing that US needs a similar nation-wide service to connect gig-workers of all sorts to factories specifically.

My sister has been at a family owned small factory for 30+ years now. Eventually loyalty to family becomes a thing, especially when they’re loyal to you.

They are gradually not replacing staff as they retire or the occasional person quits on the factory floor due to automation. Their biggest challenge is who will own it in the future - the son and grandson have fully taken over from the founder, but nobody else in the family is really interested.

I don't know if people are disagreeing with us on that loyalty is not enough these days..
