can an electrician be required to work a full day & night shift then come to work the next day shift even if the shifts overlap? isn't that dangerous?

what about sleep? Doesn't an employer have to allow an employee time to sleep?

There is no law limiting the total number of hours an electrician can work. Only te point at which he begins to get overtime. Wanna have an hour limit, be a truck driver or pilot.
Texas, like much of the south, is a "right to work state" meaning if you don't like it, walk.
LDYBLK, that's fine and dandy but it isn't the law.

I would just comment that Texas has pretty weak labor laws. About the only thing the TWC will do for you is try and get back pay for you. Just anything you ask Texas Workforce gets a standard: "You are free to quit as you are free to work".
And, Bush had a pro-business regulations pushed through legislation about overtime so it's more like flex time over two-weeks (the jerk).

Sorry Texas has employer friendly laws. You must be given 1one 24 hr break every 7 days. No law as to how many hours straight.
If you have a union check with them. Our state has almost no unions & I do not think TX does either. Try taking to boss about your concern for mistakes & safety. Good luck!!
Oh my, I can not believe that someone is blaming Bush for this too. How stupid can someone get, I guess it has been answered.

you can work a 16 hour shift, you have to have an eight hour sleep assesment in order to function properly and work safely.
