Time banking and time-based currencies?

eg Ithaca HOURS and new blockchain-based attempts such as chronobank.io. The idea being that individuals assign tokens to their labor time and buy/sell those tokens from each other for hours worked. My feeling is that they have well-meaning intentions, though even a decentralized labor token will ultimately result in individuals competing for scraps and thus working longer hours to generate a sustainable income. Thoughts?
