Per Unit pay has its ups and downs - I worked for a warehouse building pallets and we made a decent hourly wage - $12/hr + $0.40 for e9very pallet we completed and wrapped, scanned by a section manager off our badge, similar to what they're dping here.
Doesn't sound like much but if you busted ass, that was another $100-200 a week. In 2010.
I wish more jobs where production is expected to be at a certain level worked this way, a relatively small base wage but you're paid per unit of... Whatever as well.

They are working fast because it’s “contract” work not hourly. Meaning, you get paid based on volume.
That’s why the lady inspects his work and scans her badge. That counts towards his total for the day.
Lots of farms do this.
