I am employed at the (deleted) plant in Sherman, Texas. I have been told that I will be working 28 consecutive days of 12 hour shifts (no days off). Is this legal??:confused: I have been looking for the answer to this question for a while and can't seem to find anything of use to me, if you have any information please contact me!

Yes. It is legal. I'm not saying I think it is a good idea, but there is nothing in either Federal or Texas law that prohibits it.

The only restriction in Texas regarding consecutive days worked is in the retail industry.

I will be working 28 consecutive days of 12 hour shifts

Legal, but nuts. I will jump through big hoops to avoid anyone working four consecutive twelve hour days, let alone 28.
