    This is exactly why. A shutdown/startup is not just inconvenient. In many factories, it can cost them a huge chunk of money. It’s more than just lost time and income. There are costly procedures in the mix. There are strict quotas and contracts to meet with customers. A factory that shuts down every night is not efficient or sustainable.

    I’m very pro-worker and anti-boss, but it’s naive to expect factories to not have a night shift.

    Long term it will be robots doing most of it, anyway.

      To quote @jpreston2005 “the better option is not having a rotating shift, and compensating the employees that have to take third shift”
