Oh, that's right, they aren't.

I worked as a manufacturing engineer at the UniFirst distribution center. The hourly employees all had minimum hourly production rates well above what should have been realistic and a friend's son works at UPS in Louisville in a similar situation. Ditto for TTMA, Toyota's stamping plant in KY and the assembly plant in Indiana. The entire welding division at the TTMA Texas facility walked out, including the supervisors, due to the working conditions, long hours, etc. So they're going to do whatever it takes to maintain speed.
Management as envisioned by General Patton & Jack Welch.
My delivery only had a small amount of heavy packing paper and a sticker on the outside warning of fragile lithium batteries. It rattled a lot and was partially crushed. Fortunately no hidden damage.
