Wages- piece work or quota..

I'm not sure if many are aware of the wage structure at the RV assembly plants in Indiana. These "Amish" folks that everyone raves about are paid on the quota system. When they report for work they are assigned so many units to install (whether it's cabinets- toilets etc...) When they have met their daily quota they leave work and return home to do their chores.

This is usually why they leave in the early afternoons. Plenty of time left to work around the farms.
This was explained to us during two different RV factory tours we took.

Happy trails,

That's the way I understand it too. The guys at the factory do two jobs. Factory worker and farmer.

The down side for us is they are probably thinking "how can I get my quota done faster so I can get home to the farm".

It is kind of cool to see the horses and trailers in the factory parking lot.
