I have been looking for manufacturing, assembly, production positions all over the Midwest. It’s absolutely shocking how many of them want you to work rotating shifts.

Look at the image I submitted. That company wants you to work 3rd shift one week, then 2nd shift the next, then 1st shift the next, and then repeat it over and over. How in the hell is that healthy?

And this requirement for rotating shifts is prevalent in so many job ads now. WTF is going on with the world?

    They have a few options of what to do while treating workers fairly, even under the framework of capitalism

    • raise wages until workers are willing to work the nightshift permanently
    • raise prices till demand matches the output you are able to achieve while treating your workers fairly
    • increase production throughput by opening additional lines so supply you output matches demand
    • bring democracy into the workplace and let the workers decide if they want to work rotating shifts so the company can save money

    Fucking over your workers isn’t an acceptable option. As a society, we can’t accept people’s lives being made worse in the name of saving money.
