DelCo!!!
they did 12 hr shifts but stayed at the plant for the 28 days. lock-down don’t you knwo.
During my oilfield days I would work offshore for 28 days then off for 28 days. My work day would average 12 hours. Sometimes it was 0 hours and sometimes 24 hours. It was no sacrifice. They filled my pockets with a great deal of money.
Hats off to these men...
