No, I am aware of the lives of other working people, and I have worked jobs with fixed shifts before. But I also have seen over the last 20 years that flexible time has moved from an exotic perk to a standard contract term in my country, at least for white-collar workers. And we have mandatory works councils, where workers can have a say in certain decisions, for example shift hours. (In the US the equivalent is roughly when a company has a union.) So it is not being out of touch, it is a political demand. I am just saying what's possible.
