You forget that a huge slice of the workforce aren't employed on a shift-basis, but are salaried, and expected to put in whatever hours the job requires. I used to work 80hrs/week, couldn't accrue leave (was lucky to be able to use half of it), required to work weekends, discouraged from taking time off in lieu, etc.
Point is, plenty of workers in plenty of industries get the shaft.
