What is the Canadian Federal law say about Maxium amount of hours I can legally work in a 24hr. period?
Say I start my work day Midnight. I work for 8 hours, plus I get asked to work 7 more hours. I rest for one hour and I go back to work for another 8 hours. Now that is 23 hours in a 24 hour day. I rest for 6 hours, go back to work, and work 11 more hours.
When was I, leagally under Canadian Federal law to say that I can stop work.
Is my company following Federal laws? What are my legal working rights under Federal law? Does this not qualify under Federal law but under Provincal laws?
I have the read the Canada Labour code Part II-Consolidation Working Copy-Regulations Respecting Occupational Health and Safety.- January 2003
But this deals only with the outside hazards.Not the human being.
I am a Aerial Technnician. I work above and below Communication towers. I am a 'on call' employee. 24/7.
In most cases you would be governed by provincial law. Contact the Ministry of Labour in your province to check your rights.
I know in Ontario you can make an anonymous complaint to the Ministry of Labour, and they will investigate.
Are you in a Union? If so, I would contact your Union directly.

It depends, in part, on your age and partly on your profession. How old are you?
