Very few actually. Most shop fitters work a 12 hr shift overnight. When I did it we'd work from 7pm to 7am for 14 days straight then take the weekend off if we wanted, and then do 14 days x 12 hours again. Most of us worked as many hours as we could and earned a nice wage doing it. The only time I saw any one hurt were the blokes who you'd expect to injure themselves. Any one cutting corners usually get fired. And what's hard about doing a 12 hour day? It's cutting wood and hanging sheetrock. Hardly rocket science, and again no one is made work 80 hours but if you can't do it then maybe they should be doing another line of work.
It's a bit like asking how many postmen get hurt walking however many miles a day they walk while delivering mail.
I can imagine the lazy cunts on here moaning I wouldn't work 80 hours a week, mind you they won't work a 40 hour week either.
But it's okay for people with inherited wealth not to work if they choose not to, yes?
I've made a lot of money, enough I never have to work. But I do because 1) it's in my nature to work, 2) a lot of people depend on me for work.
I've two kid's and every year on their birthdays I sign over a property to them( I own a lot of property) Next week my eldest will own 11 houses, the youngest will get his tenth property. They need never work and I'm glad my hard work has been able to do that for them. But my kid's both have Ideas of what they want to work at when then grow up. They have a work ethic and they see their parents both get up in the morning and head to work.
I grew up on a rough council estate, I wasn't going to let that happen to my kids. I worked long and hard to achieve what I have I never sat back and accepted handouts. There is no reason why any one shouldn't work who is physically able to.
