    This doesn’t really make sense at all when you think about it. There’s not some corporate council that makes decisions like “okay we’re making the 8 hour workday because it benefits…other corporations in completely different industries.”

      Yes but it does provide context as to why corporations are against shortening the work day. It helps understand their motivations and why they would want longer work days even though in theory they could get away with working people for less days and then pay them for less.
