The only question for classifying a job as "essential" is if someone will/might die if it's not performed.

If it only concerns profit... It's not essential.

And there better be a way to settle greivances for essential jobs or they quickly hollow out. If you don't, people don't train for them or pursue them, and we damn well know they aren't going to up the pay to make them more attractive.
