Having worked about 60 hours a week during most of my working life, plus at least 2 to 3 hours a day travelling, I am all for shorter hours. However, one should get a reasonable wage for that work. Of course, people working longer hours deprives others from having a job. I work as a volunteer interpreter in Spain, assisting people who need to communicate with the police, but I try to ensue that my work does not deny others a job. I know that if I was not there the police would not employ someone.
