An idea I hold completely seriously is that the right to reasonable entertainment during working hours should be a labor issue and would meaningfully improve quality of life for employees in a huge range of job types

Right - this should be normalized as a labor right customers have no reason to feel annoyed about. This would form a natural part of a more general reorientation away from assuming that the human subject is always a customer, never a worker
Here, I think we run into the differences of our political temperament, because my instinct is to try to change this through voluntary interactions in the culture (shaming and market interactions) whereas you prefer (I assume) state action through labor reforms.

I think like a lot of lasting improvements in labor conditions this would actually be something that unions win and that then becomes an industry standard/normative expectation of all employers. It might be too granular for state action. I'm not an organizer, this may be wrong

Fair. My concern with unions is always that they will seek gains not from bargaining against employers as much as by bargaining with employers against future employees, non-employed persons, or the general public. But no system is perfect, of course.
