From the point of view of the zionists, anything that would enable them to marginalize frum Jews and encourage them to emigrate is a fulfillment of a dream going back to Herzl. In golus, frum Jews can usually pick a career that allows taking off Shabbos, even if that precludes a majority of jobs. It is unlikely the zionists could manage a seven day work week, but they probably want one that includes Shabbos as a workday. A trend that has benefited Yidden in golus is the shrinking work week that a century ago was uniformly six day a week with Sunday as a mandatory day off, and for many jobs is moving towards a four day work week.
