The 40 Hour week went out the window years ago over here.
We recently celebrated Labour Day, for the implementation of the 40 Hour week.
Its more like a 65-70 Hour week, over here.
I don't know of anybody who works a 40 Hour week any more.

LOL! I live in a country run by the labour union (even officially): You can end up in court for working too much and be fined for it. Max. 40 hours a week plus 200 hours of overtime per year. (If this is good or bad is debatable.)
