Comparing this to getting shot is a little dramatic don't you think?

Again, I'll go to my original point, which is that if you don't like the hours your employer has asked you to work in exchange for the salary that they are paying, then find a new job. I see no need for regulation here, especially in our industry, where there are more jobs than people.

Some people have decided to live in a society where employees typically don't work consistently at the border between having a job and quitting.

If you do prefer a society where employers are not regulated at all, there probably are places in the world you can "choose" to live.

I choose to live in the US, and again, this is not a problem if you choose your job properly.
