The rest of the stuff in these articles is just bog standard fact of life in low paid, unskilled, menial jobs - particularly in factories.
You must not have ever worked in the Food Services Industry. When a restaurant slows down they start cutting staff immediately. Every business I know sends employees home if business turns slow. The good ones will ask who wants to take off early and if not enough volunteer, they make an arbitrary decision.
