Standing for long periods can lead to low back pain, fatigue, muscle pain and leg swelling.
It can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems and pregnancy complications.
Long standing can trigger flare-ups of chronic pain that limit the worker's mobility.
Many jobs besides nursing require extended standing: department store sales clerks, hairdressers, surgeons, restaurant cooks.
Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union is pushing for a guaranteed right to sit during work that can be done seated.
Most states in the U.S. had laws requiring seating for female workers around the turn of the 20th century .
Those laws were repealed over time because they applied only to women.
