To add to onion2k’s point, a better “let’s give it a shot” alternative is to raise the base remuneration to account for the potential overtime.
That way if you’re overflown with overtime it’s in your compensation, if you manage to not do any overtime you’ll benefit from it.
It’s arguably harder to negotiate, but I think it would be the best way forward. Now, if the choice is between nothing and paid overtime, yes it’s worth it getting paid overtime.

Creating a regulation that says “workers in this sector get overtime pay” is probably easier than creating an industry-specific minimum wage.
