Summary
They are lined up by the hundreds in the factory, working with steadfastness and precision. They do not take breaks, and yet they don’t get tired or make mistakes. They don’t complain about working conditions or bargain for higher pay. They don’t require much supervision – in fact, there is only one supervisor for the whole factory.
