Yes, they operate 24/7. If the work week is shortened, companies wont operate less hours, they'd just spend more money on staffing. They'd either need to hire more people to cover 24/7 operations, or pay existing staff overtime to work their current schedules. Companies don't want to spend more money on staffing which is why they don't want reduced work hours even though studies show it's beneficial for people's lives.
