The Factory Floor

No one's watching.

It's 1931. Orders have dried up. The bank says decide by noon — or they decide for you.

It's October 1931 in Detroit. You own a small auto parts factory. Orders have dried up. You can afford to keep the factory open for 3 more months at full staff, or 8 months at half staff. Your workers have families. Some have been with you for over 20 years. The bank wants a decision by Friday.
