I am not OP, I do not have links to facts but I can give you some examples from people I know, there may be other industries companies with worse conditions.

- working extra hours is paid double and this hours are limited

- you are forced to take you vacation days off, you can't chose the money and work the full year

- your work place provides you food or you get "food tickets" that you can use in stores to buy only food.

- if you have to work on national holly-day you will get paid double

- you are not forced to be a member of any union

That doesn't make sense to me, different people have dietary preferences of different levels of expense. What's the reasoning behind this?

I think you would like the places that offer you food tickets, this means on top of your pay you get extra tokens to buy food. Some places(not as often) have special places where you can sit and eat cooked food.

I think this is good so the workers won't skip on food, it is also a negotiation thing, when I see offers I see that you get paid X amount + food tickets.
