I don't believe it's true. Or more precisely, I don't believe it's different than what happens in offices. Given the right (bad) manager, people will be pushed to do 10h days at the office too. In that situation it is on the employees to say no.

I'd argue for labour laws and/or unions here. Individual workers vs. collective management greatly disadvantages workers, as Adam Smith observed 245 years ago.
