Default Why aren't we paid for duty time?

Per diem aside, how come pilots aren't pushing to be compensated for their time at work, instead of flight time? Wouldn't being paid by the duty hour force the airlines to produce more efficient schedules, instead of inserting hours of sits throughout the day? It seems to me like we only get paid for roughly 50 or 60% of the time that were actually at "work".
