Unless you are employed as a truck driver, pilot, or certain medical jobs or in another similarly regulated occupation/trade, there is no limit on the number of hours or days in a row that you can be made to work. The fact si that without an employment contraxt or union agreemt, most work relatiosnhips are "at will". This means that a company can set the condtitions of employment much as they see fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination).
