its a pretty unimaginative and depressing view to suppose they'll be working 12 hours no matter what they do. arguably workers might get much more mileage out

its a pretty unimaginative and depressing view to suppose they'll be working 12 hours no matter what they do.
arguably workers might get much more mileage out of e.g. organising and forming unions to lobby for better conditions.
- doyoulikeworms 11y agoSome professions work 12 hour shifts. My mother is a nurse, and she works 12 hour days 3 days per week (full time). It's actually a pretty decent job. But 12 hours at any job 5+ days a week does sound rough.
