Shift workers find ways to cope

MONTREAL (CP) — Like
one million other Canadians,
Carmen Chouinard and Phil-
ippe Rodier work nights.

It's hard on social life but
with imagination and plan-
ning night workers can man-
age to have fun during the

day.

Chouinard, 27, has signed
up for ballet classes twice a
week and Rodicr, 41, has
taken up flying and riding
horses.

Both of them envy people
who work normal shifts, yet
as night workers they have
some advantages such as
extra pay and freedom from
bosses. Swimming pools and
tennis courts are available
weekdays, stores are less

crowded and traffic to work is
light.

But both face the dilemma
of running a normal social life
in a world geared to S p.m.
happy hours and 9 p.m.
movies.

Chouinard, chief room clerk
from 3 to 11:30 p.m. at the
Chateau Champlain Hotel,
says the work schedule killed
the only serious relationship
she has had since coming to
Montreal from Toronto two
years ago.

“I was just never available
when he was,"’ she says.

ACCEPTS NIGHT SHIFTS

Rodier, who joined the staff
at the Chateau Champlain 14
years ago as a captain in the
dining room, thought the

But things didn’t work out
that way. He was moving
ahead at the hotel and he
finally told himself to accept

shifts.

Rodier was married for
eight years, but the marriage
bruke up, not only because of
his work scheduie, though
that didn’t help the relation-
ship, he says.

Since his divorce four years
ago he has had other close
relationships but all of them
ended because of his working
hours.

Nello Mariana, 26, a shift
officer in the computer oper-

ations department at the Roy-
al Bank Data Centre, has
worked a rotating schedule of
days and night for eight
years.

He likes being free during
the day for golf or tennis or
skiing and hockey.

The worst aspect of the
shift-work is that it limits the
time he can spend with his
room-muie, Lorraine Cikes.To
compensate, when he works
days he doesn’t go out with
his friends from the office but
spends his time with her.

Sharon Hall, 24, who works
a rotational shift, considers
herself a night person but
would not want to work nights
permanently on her job at the

Church offer counselling

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Clergymen alarmed at the

have begun to expect, and
sometimes require, engaged

increased five-fold since laws
were liberalized in 1968, from
an average of 11,000 a year to
