Without unions, and with the job market the way it is, politicians actually do have more control over my employer than I do. "Ask for better hours" and "find a new job" don't cut it these days.
What I was partly trying to get at is that we work too much and for too long. But the best way to fix that and get more time to ourselves is unionization and regulation.
My other point is that we can just reinvent our timezones at the state and local level to best serve the people that live in them.
