Anything over 32 hours should be considered overtime and paid a wage at least 1.5 times higher than the regular one. The absolute limit can be around 48 hours.

Lol academics Europeans.

Even though I agree with him, this seemed more appropriate.

Obviously, a sensible minimum wage goes hand in hand with humane workweek limits.

Well, considering this poll's results, the myth that Atlas is left-wing has been debunked for good.

Of course it is, what's wrong with you people? Do you realize the 8-day workday was one of the first demands of organized labor?

The poll doesn't even specify where the cap should be said, so that means people voting no would be OK with 100, 120, 150-hours workweeks? Jesus.

Is a fifty-year old, unionized, operator/foreman who works a sixty-hour week due to his personal inclination/choice to do so a libertarian?

No more than unicorns are socialist and Big Foot is a fascist.

He was the first foreman I worked under. Did tens everyday and typically pushed into Saturday.

How much did he make per hour?

Well, OK, that's all good for him, but I doubt most people who work over 50 hours are as happy about that as he was.
