It's interesting to bring up air traffic controllers because they (in most countries) have strictly regulated work hours. The research into fatigue and safety problems is pretty extensive, and the last person you want working overtime because someone got sick is the controller telling a dozen or more planes where to fly at once.

While not all jobs have the same stakes, that goes to show how it's an employer's responsibility to account for reality.
