The first (and only) manufacturing job I ever worked did have a high turnover of temps. (People worked for a temp agency for a minimum of 90 days before the possibility of getting hired on as a real employee, or "full time" as we said. [Temps did work 40+ hour weeks, though, like everyone else, so "full time" was kind of a misnomer.])
One of the big draws for the long-term full-timers was the health benefits. That company had a really good medical plan, and I couldn't help but feel from talking to coworkers and reading between the lines that they were effectively slaves to the health insurance provided by the company.
I suspect that won't change over time, and that many of the younger people that left after a couple weeks would have a change of mind as they get older, and allow themselves to put up with more crap as long as it came with good health insurance.
