The worst industry for this is school teachers.
At least in QLD, they are officially paid to work 5 hours a day which is ridiculous since kids are at the school for 6 hours a day and teachers don’t get a one hour lunch break. Oh yeah, and a lot of their job can’t possibly be done while students are in the room.

Yeah teaching sounds like such a terrible deal from my understanding.
Teachers have almost unrivalled bargaining power. They can stop society functioning if they go on strike - there is already a a teacher shortage, so no chance at scabs. The state teaching unions should be leveraging this to ensure they aren’t getting cooked over working hours.
