Should get hazardous duty pay.

First, the AP reports that the UN's World Health Organization will soon list working the night shift "as a 'probable' cause of cancer."

I think the shift work connection has more to do with health habits (sleep, exercise, nutrition, etc) associated with working odd hours than the actual time of day you work.

Got me by $.08 an hour. But we do get a $1500 bonus a year for being a shift worker, still not enough.

I like working nights better than days due to the reduced number of people here on site, which includes upper management. Also, it's easier to run errands throughout the day versus at night when everyone is driving home from work.

I read this and just kind of added it to a long list of things that the "Experts" say causes cancer. In reality I dont think they know any more than the weather people who said we would get a lot of Hurricanes this season. Boy: were they wrong.

Weather predictors and economists are the only two careers where you can be wrong 90% of the time and still keep your job.
