Eight Hours Min rest???

Is the quoted min rest period actually correct? Eight hours seems a little tight (NZ min rest is ten hours-which is tight enough). Do most Part 121/125 operators conform to this rest period or are more stringent working conditions prevalent (negotiated by union?).

A sixteen hour day is quite a stint too.
