"Six 'S' Factors"
(Wacquant 2004, 2015)
refers to mundane, bodily activities, repeated rhythmically, and carried out subconsciously, which help form a practical kind of knowledge.

Senses, sufferings
and skills are sedimented, incorporated
in layers; consciousless,

Exposed to threats from natural and social world
Her needs, yearning, desires remain unfulfilled;
Anxiety ridden of eventually facing death. Yet, she endures!

After one month of working in two places, I began to feel it in my body. I am now dependent on this energising drink, which is not healthy, but I drink it daily because of the physical exhaustion that I feel in my body.

MILLIONS OF NIGHT-SHIFT WORKERS – MANY OF THEM MIGRANTS - PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE NIGHT-TIME ECONOMY, DAY WORKERS AND NATIONAL ECONOMIES AS A WHOLE
PRECARIOUSNESS IS NOT EXCLUSIVE NEITHER TO NIGHTWORK NOR MIGRANTS. NIGHTWORKS MAGNIFIES IT BY SEVERAL DEGREES. AND WORKING CONDITIONS ARE DIRE FOR MIGRANTS MORE SO THAN LOCAL WORKERS BECAUSE OF INVISIBILITY AND A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT THAT MIGRANTS INCREASED THEIR VULNERABILITY.
WAYS FORWARD - NIGHTWORKER CHARTER DEMANDS
IMPLEMENTATION OF DECENT WORK REGULATIONS FOR NIGHTSHIFT WORKERS (SDG №.8, ILO 2019)
INVOLVE MANAGING AUTHORITIES TO OBSERVE AND APPLY LEGISLATION ON SITE (e.g. 8h nightshifts not 16h)
INTRODUCE LIVING WAGE FOR NIGHTWORKERS

They are [allowed]. You get breaks when there is nothing to do, when the stand is not busy. … In my opinion, if the job slows down and they wanna go to have breakfast, that’s fine. As long as I know it, go ahead. … They are human beings, like us; there is no difference between us and the loaders or porters [forklift-truck drivers].
I don’t look at it that way.

Solidarity and Competition within and between groups of night-shift workers existed in a fragile form of sociability drawn along ethnic lines?!

I have been in this business for so long … I’ve been brought up to manage the loaders, forklift-truck drivers, the buying, the selling… For me, there is no kind of pattern that I have to do. I am not just a salesman. When it comes to it, I’ll become a manager; I’ll tell my bosses they’re wrong. When it comes to it, I load pallets; I’ll drive a forklift; I’ll sell stuff. I don’t mind. As long as the business runs smoothly, that’s all that matters.

EMBODIED PRECARIOUSNESS?

When I’m in charge, I like to know where my crew is – in the toilet, at the café… It’s not the case of … ‘Why is he going to the toilet?’ But, when you don’t know [where your crew is] it’s the worst. So, if I am going to the toilet, I’ll tell my boss, so he keeps an eye on [the stand].
