Why do menial labor jobs in the food industry pay so well compared to other labor jobs? I'm 21 and I just got a temp job at Hershey a few weeks ago and it's been easy as hell. $10/hour and goes up to $16/hour once I'm full time. People who have been there for ~10-20 years get paid $30/hour. There's literally nothing to it. Before that, I was getting paid $8.50 (25 cents above minimum wage) to do backbreaking 12 hour shifts at a lumber yard. Been there since I was 18 and never got a single raise. Once I get hired full time and make $16/hour, I can possibly afford to go to college. Would like to take up a trade and become a maintenance worker here. I love me some chocolate and can buy them at the employee store, an entire box of 30 chocolate bars for $4.00.

10-20 years on the factory floor. No thanks.
$30 / hour isn't hard to come by in any trade if you put your time in. Just join a union if that's all you aspire to be.

Because you need reliable labor and most food related jobs have really unreliable labor.

Are you implying that 10 years isn't a long time to get to $30/hour?
I mean it isn't terrible pay, but working in a factory for 10+ years sounds like a fucking nightmare. There's a reason lower middle class are all alcoholics you know

Food industry is a pain in the ass, that's why they pay well.

Yooooooo Hersheyfag, I'm in mechanicsburg. Wanna fuck?

So is there a union at Hershey?

Because you are working for a reputable multi billion dollar corporation, they treat their staff well, it's like a secret club.

We don't have any minimum wages in Norway, but you can't find any jobs that pay less than $20/hour. Man, living in a country with little union representation like America seems like a drag wage wise.

This. Loyalty and not being retarded will pay off really well in this business.

Can confirm. There are bananapeelers making that kind of money in Norgay.

protip: You'll get fired before you get seniority. THey just tell you that stuff to make you work good.

Fek off norwegian. I've been to your country and everything is expensive as shit. Normal food stuff costs more than a restaurant in central Paris. Literally 20$ in norway per hour is like 5$ per hour in a less expensive state

If im going to work in a factory i better be making more than 30 dollars an hour after 10 years.
