Instead they keep trying to make the workday longer. It used to be much more common to work a 9-5 shift which included a 1 hr lunch, so you were actually working 7 hrs. Now many places have added an extra hour so it's 9-6 (or some variation of that).
I would gladly skip a lunch hour for a 6 hour workday instead of 8. You could easily just eat something like a sandwich while working.
An extra 2 hrs a day for yourself would make a huge improvement to most people's lives and health. It would also improve job performance. Shouldn't we be rioting in the streets for better work schedules?
Are there actual logistical reasons for not changing our schedules or is it just greed and stupidity f**king us over as usual?
