Maybe! But the exact same guy is running two other factories in two other very different countries with wildly different results. So I’m skeptical that he’s the biggest problem. Could be but not my first assumption.

The issue is bigger than him. A lot of people in their 20s saw parents, uncles, etc, make all kinds of sacrifices for their work only to be summarily kicked to the curb after 20 years.

At least in the U.K. it’s more likely due to a very different employment law environment that compels treating workers better.

I’d be curious to know what the labor laws are in those other countries compared to South Carolina. I doubt SC is worker friendly.
