You can be forced to work mandatory overtime on your day off if you are a union worker and this is part of your contract. You should call you union steward or check your union manual.
No limit on hours, just overtime on hours over 40 in one work week. If you do not have a contract with your employer limiting the hours, you can be forced to work the hours. This is one of the benefits of belonging to a union, your work hours have been negotiated with your employer, so they can not force you to work extra long hours.
Yes. There is no federal regulation regarding forced overtime. Employees over the age of 16 who refuse to work forced overtime are subject to discipline up to and including being fired. Bills are being considered regarding overtime in the medical field. Employees with disabilities may get special consideration if mandatory overtime is difficult because of their disability, but in general, if your boss says you have to work overtime you don't have much choice.
