History though, as a very distinguished philosopher once said, is the actions of men (and women) in pursuit of their ends.
Now this tactic has run its course and they are considering of what to do next.
Only a mixture of capitalism with socialist policies can be beneficial to man, if you go with absolutes it brings misfortune to most people.
That's how socialism is defined, that the interests of society come first.
Of course finding some help moving parts around for the welders would be the first thing the foreman would think of, because thats what foremans do all the time in factories.
Maybe the welders chose to work this way (i.e. inefficiently) because continuous welding produces fatigue which risks H&S and lowers the quality of the product.
So if the story was real, the solution would be extra personnel so the welding is done continuously, by rotating people between welding, moving parts and other jobs.
You can apply this rationale to the army, police, fire brigades, hospitals, schools, street lighting, public roads, public transport etc. and you end up in a jungle, not a civilized society.
For context, by the late '20 programs were running for the elimination of Gypsies and disabled children inside concentration camps. Pieces of burned clothing were found on rooftops. Even Britain had a eugenics program against inferior races.
Not likely therefore made to cause outrage over children's rights, rather to depict established practices.
