I saw that also, and have my doubts. Having worked lots of graveyard shifts for about 35 years, along with a lot of co-workers, I am not aware of even one case of cancer. I suspect that their study may have included lots of folks who worked in areas with "stuff" that might contribute to cancer. But the study does sound like a good reason for unions to fight for a higher shift differential pay for graveyard workers...
your workers are lucky not having any cancers. Other workers, however, do have cancer according to the study. The study encompass wide range of industries.
