@NateMachpash In 1904 an American journalist named Upton Sinclair wrote a book called “The Jungle” exposing the sorry state of meat packing plants in the US. In the book he describes rats, poor working conditions, and disease in the factories.
The phrase “rat infested factory” means literally a factory with rats in it, but it has also holds a connotation that the factory is ill run, is untrustworthy, or is unclean.
