For those of us in IT, I'm not sure if we need Big Brother standing up for us on the playground; we can vote for better working conditions using our feet. The IT industry as a whole really can't be stereotyped; one organization, team, or manager places vastly different demands on it's employees than another.You make a good point. We have the luxury of forming our opinions through the lenses of people with valuable skills who have leverage to demand good working conditions.
I do believe the government should apply a grease wherever it's needed, but only where needed. Everyone, regardless of background, forms their opinion through a narrow lense. It seems to me that some folks may be fretting over work related emails in off hours or taking work home when it's not really required or needed. If some folks start charging their employer for time spent reading email off hours, then the employer may decide they're more trouble then they're worth.
