Maybe not. Its about the market. My son is a line engineer in a film-coating plant. They need operators chronically. The average operator lasts 2 weeks.

Its hot/cold (depending on the season), humid, very noisy, vibration. Almost every American would rather work anywhere else.

If it's that important for them to have less turnover, then they would pay for it with higher salary or other perks. But apparently it's not that important to them, due to the fact that they're still in business despite the terrible turnover situation.
