It may be that the factory is relatively small, the funds are relatively small, and the economic conditions are not very good. Some factories are designed to keep people and get food and shelter. The factory is large, there are many employees, and the income is far greater than the money for food and accommodation. Naturally, they don't care about the small money. On the contrary, it is a small factory with few orders and not so many employees. Food and accommodation is a big expense, so naturally they can't get food and accommodation.

Food and shelter means that employers or employers provide free food and shelter while providing fixed wages.
