48hrs is the legal maximum in the EU under the working time directive, this however is commonly flounted with little or no enforcement.
The only way it is ever going to be tackled is to have strong trade unions supported by 100% membership so we can take down these immoral bosses who think it is ok to over-work their staff in the persuit of profit.
