> We cannot dismiss these problems in science if we want research to continue.

The sad reality is that right now, those concerns can be dismissed. There is a huge supply of good researchers (especially foreign researchers) who are willing to work under poor conditions just to get a shot. Until there is more money in the system / more positions / fewer people in academic science, you are going to see PIs with unreasonable expectations because they know they can get away with it.

Not only that, but they know the next lab down the road is working just as many long, hard hours.
