See the part re: piecework. Furniture assemblers are not paid by the hour. They are paid by the number of items they build to an acceptable standard. Assemblers whose assembly speed is zero don't get paid. Unless your furniture shop exists only in a hypothetical math universe at the extreme end of a graph, there will be assemblers available who can build furniture adequately fast for the company to stay in business.
