A term originating and mainly used in the Pacific-Northwest region (northern costal USA, southern coastal Canada). It refers to generally smaller non-union groups paid by the job and the degree of the service produced that operates differently from a lot of the mainstream corporate operations which mostly charge cutthroat prices for jobs of which the quality may vary. The term originates from logging where these non-unionized, piecework operating outfits were called gyppo loggers. Now it applies to anything although it often pertains to manual labor. While gyppo outfits pay well in the short term, the benefit of this fizzles in the lack of unionization along with not having benefits or a pension which means you don't have a financially stable future when you cant work and means trouble if you get injured.
