Should there be a cap on hours worked per week?

Oh sorry, misread your post. I guess it's just LOL Cathcon then.

For what? I mean, I can understand a cap at like sixty, though I wouldn't support it. But 48!?

I'm guessing you guys have never had to get a LOT of work done by Friday to ensure that the company's finances are accounted for on time, LOL.

If you don't want to work a lot, don't get a job that will have a lot of overtime hours.

If your company needs to overwork employees to balance its books, your comapny is either understaffed or being inefficiently managed—neither of which justifies demanding more from already beleaguered workers.

And I used to think claims that leftists know nothing of business are overblown.

Your and TNF's stance implies that a) unexpected outcomes never happen, and b) that the training and extra staff required to meet hard hour caps have negligible cost.

How is this supposed to work under the left's system. If there is a large snowstorm, are the roads to go unplowed or is each city to hire and train dozens or even hundreds of extra snow plow drivers and have them sit on their butts all winter so they can spring into action for 3 hours to avoid the cap?

a) Unexpected outcomes are a natural occurence—why should employers be able to exort more work out of the employees when unexpected occurence cut into the profit margin? Am I supposed to sympathize with a corporation who only profits 30% instead of 50% because they couldn't work the employees harder.

b) Costs associated with accommodating growth are also a natural occurrence, there's no justification for cheap skating and just demanding more of your current work force.

You're comparing emergency community services to for profit businesses?  Hardly fair, but to answer your question, socialized emergency services would be democratically managed, and so emergency scheduling would be decided by the workers.

Lol. That's a lot of undue faith in the worker.
