Imagine what kind of employees you get for $7.25/hour. Yes, that's Indiana's minimum wage.
Are all RV assembly workers paid an hourly wage?
Thought -at least some- were "piece workers".

I have worked piece work all my life. Most times, with that kind of pay structure, if the quality of the product is below standard, you do it again for no more money. Just trumping here, but I imagine management gets a bonus for higher rate of production. This would cause a rush to put them out the door, quality could suffer.
As for the dealers, for at least a decade they have been selling RVs with quality issues, then making money when manufacture pays for building the unit to acceptable standards. If people where not willing to buy, then be without both money and RV while repairs are made they would of been shipping them back. Nobody will build something that will not sell. And, if people are willing to buy junk, there is no reason to build better.
