Women ask day shifts except in emergency
Washington (UP) –
Director May Anderson of the Labor Department’s women’s bureau appealed today for employment of women workers on night shifts “only as an emergency measure to prevent overtime on day shifts.”
She said in a report on night work for women workers:
Women workers, speaking from their own experience, object to frequent change of shifts because it upsets their eating and sleeping schedules. Women with family responsibilities find it hard to arrange for the care of their families and children, harder still to get someone to do this.
On the other hand, there is objection to permanent night schedules because the workers seldom get sufficient sleep during the day and health and efficiency are seriously undermined.
