Here's the thing as well, these problems aren't new, things like crunch have been regulated for decades at this point. I've said this before but I wonder how he's react to the USPS, during Christmas crunch time is guaranteed to happen. The best way to highlight this is the overtime pay, of course if you go over the standard time you get extra, I think it's double your pay. For most periods of the year there's also a threshold which if you pass that you get extra pay on top of overtime, I think it's quadruple standard pay, but could be wrong so take the figures as just examples. I say most because they don't do quad pay during the holidays because of how much overtime there is.
Now thing about it this way, this is basically a unionized government job (insert comment about the USPS technically being a private company just controlled by the government here) which are rather notorious for being much stricter when it comes to this stuff. If they could do the job without having to make people work overtime the unions would've likely pushed for that a long time ago. Now keep in mind that most places aren't as strict as these unionized government jobs, they don't have to pay anywhere near as much and have less restrictions on how much overtime employees can work than these places.
My basic point here is that you probably aren't going to see much change when it comes to overtime considering what's allowed in other industries. Fact of the matter is game development's a rock star industry, whenever someone leaves you have 20 people behind them ready to take their place. Unless you're Miyamoto, Kojima, or some other extremely prestigious dev they aren't going to push too hard to keep or hire you, because frankly it's a waste of resources to do so when so many other people are out there who are just as good as you.
