Does anybody know of any studies relating to hours/injury?

The point is, we’re short handed because we can’t get people to stay. 15 years ago, you could easily work a 40 hour week. You couldn’t get a 64 hour week in if you wanted to. Today, I could literally work 16 hours every day.

I don’t get it. We pay well, have some of the best benefits around, and can’t find anybody that wants to work.

I work in a rolling mill and our normal 18 turn schedules have 90-100 open shifts. On top of that, there will be a Sunday with 60 jobs to fill. We have a 3 day rule, where you can’t get forced to work double shifts 3 days in a row, but there are guys who get forced over every day they’re eligible. 88 hour weeks are not uncommon.
