It's been a few years but I've known a number people who worked on the production lines at Intel's fabs in Hillsboro, Oregon. Many, if not all of them worked 3 twelve hour shifts each week.

Note: I'm not commenting on the suitability of the practice, just on the fact that it's not unique to certain countries in Asia.
