Seems like US working treatys are very different from the ones in the EU.
If I work for salary I normally have a fixed amount of hours I have to work each month (e.g. 160h). Of course overtime is a regular and sometimes you even get money for overtime. But .. there is a very clear distinction between "work time" and "free time".
And its only to their advantage to find something good if they get paid royalties - AFAIK not every editor gets more then his normal monthly payment.
