Companies now want 24 hour productivity, which means they will abuse their workers to keep that cycle going. Worker healthy is probably not even a thought, just: how do we get more out of them?
It’s possible to staff a factory 24/7 without rotating shifts, but much harder unless you offer financial incentives to work nights, i.e. a differential. But of course it’s cheaper to just require rotation.
One way to get more out of a worker is to keep them healthy.
People keep trying to vilify self interest and profit seeking in this stuff, and just assuming the model where profit comes from hurting people.
If you make your workers unhealthy, you lose money unless there’s some huge benefit you’re getting from it. I don’t see what the benefit of this would be.
