Unions won’t vote for that either, because additional employees cost more money. The company is only going to have a fixed total number they can afford to pay out for labour. Only about half that is the actual wage the employee receives. So if you want to have more employees working less hours each, you are going to have to take a pay cut, which again, no unions are going to go for. And for that matter, the company usually won’t go for that either. They want less employees, and not just to save on labour costs.

yeah I know they did not go for that but they should have. they were instrumental in the 40 hour week and they should not have stopped there.
