Swing shifts are a bear. We used to live near a large Michelin plant and all but the office staff were on swings. So many people in the area where we lived were employed by Michelin that it was just a thing.
However, we aren't ever going to do away with people working what some consider strange hours. Husband worked for years from about 1pm till 11pm. He and I and the kids were literally ships passing in the night. Took me forever to get used to him working days...in fact, I'm still adjusting after nearly 16 years.
My son works for Pepsi and though he works days now he never has two days off in a row and never the same two days from one week to the next.
The thing with some of these places that makes them able to keep people working nutty hours is they offer good benefits and often decent to good pay.
