> Why should we let them own a workers time even outside of the hours they are being compensated?

I think it's more "let them have the power to fire a worker that comes on the job tired, warms the seat while recovers for the night shift and leaves the office without producing the value he is paid for."

more to the point: there's already a contract form that empowers the worker to work goals instead of hours, allowing employers that so desire to manage their time, so there's that as well. if one chooses the salaryman life, he get pros and cons.




Fire them, sure. Let them sue the employee to capture the value they produced on their own time, no.
