A part of an online discussion on Stern factory employees. Seems like they are abusing people to make shitty machines like the Xmen.

I'd say that it all depends on what the finances are like at Stern. If you can only afford to hire temps, then you can only afford to hire temps. If you are making tons of money, you'd want to recruit and retain the best craftsmen you can, to maintain the highest quality product. I work in a heavily unionized workplace that uses "temps" in augmentation roles. My multi-national company can afford to pay union workers, Stern...I'm not so sure. Actually, Nate, if you want, you're welcome to come on by anytime and take a tour!

NHM FTW. Your logic is flawless. Gary Stern must be settling for a minimum wage as well and when he can afford to pay workers more he will surely up his salary as well.

If you employ a minimum wage workforce, you're going to get minimum effort and a minimum quality product. How much do you think a worker cares about their job when they get little money and no benefits? So, yes, I agree that if they can pay more and provide better benefits, they should.

Stern's actually said that they "make" ALL of their employees play pinball for 15 minutes a day. Perhaps they consider that a substitute for health bennies.
