Because most of the people of a high enough pay-grade to have any bargaining power are already working 5x10, or more.

I work 4x10 and keep a timesheet; any time I work over I take back at some point in time. Planning on decreasing the hours slightly soon, drop back to 38 or whatever the norm is here in Australia.

I don't find that 10 hours fatigues me, it feels the same as an eight hour day anyway.

I think you're a big outlier, or at least you would be in the US. I have no idea what work culture is like in Australia, but it stands to reason it would be better than here.

US working hours are nuts, IMO.
