Arguably, the bulk of improvement in work conditions came through technological development and productivity growth, not through regulations. Some of the best work conditions today are found in the largely unregulated (partly due to its global nature) software engineering job market. Also, why not go for 20 hours work week?

Innovation made improvements in work conditions possible, protests and the following regulations made them real. I'm all-in for a 20h work week.
