The point remains that the trade off for working unsociable hours is a higher salary, always has been and always should be.
I wouldn't imagine many people, particularly in the more menial shiftwork jobs , would be interested in doing them otherwise.
That said , I have a friend in another industry who was working varied shifts on the shop floor when he took a salaried management position which seemed like a great deal at the time. Little did he know that his workload would go from 42 hours a week with built in penalties and overtime for every minute over 38 hours, to an average of 60 hours with absolutely no additions above his salary. He left for work at 6 am and didn't get home until 7 at night . Weekends usually entailed several hours on his laptop tidying up unresolved duty. His office was windowless in the middle of a large building , he usually ate at his desk. During one Melbourne winter he wasn't seeing daylight from Monday to Friday. Inevitable health problems followed , including a gastric ulcer. He could not leave his work at work . Eventually he left the company and found work at a competitors -back on the floor working shifts and is happy again. He worked out that his hourly rate on the shop floor was actually better than with his salaried management job.
