Ouch!
Thankfully we're a big enough factory that we can cope with a few absentees without too much upheaval

Night work very hard. I went to the night shift, and I know how it is. Everyone has their own body and not everyone fits. But such a life.

We only get a $0.10 boost in pay from 6pm to 6am. But if we do overtime, it's time and a half after 8hrs, and double time after 10hrs. We can get mandated to 10hrs, but not forced to stay later than that.

I think we are compensated well enough. And there isn't much more reliable than bread .
