3abas@lemmy.world 1 day agoThey’re referring to 32 hour shifts, these are the extremes for certain occupations (nurses are notable example). It’s common to work 12-14 hour daily shifts for months at a time without any days off, though.
And capitalists would love nothing more than to apply it in the US, they see you as lazy leeches, not as the labor that makes their shitty business work.

I’m sure there are companies (really just ignorant bosses) out there that would think longer shifts is a good idea but it’s pretty well researched that after about 8-10hrs of repetitive work that productivity drops drastically.
Also nurses working long shifts don’t usually do that for long periods of time and it’s usually voluntary, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but that’s what unions are for. My aunt and two cousins are nurses at a Hospital.

Thanks, I was left wondering if nurses did have to work 32 hour shifts without even a ten minute lunch break in USA
