Working hours

Hi all ATCO's out there, me, a mere driver, heard one day that at a certain airport somewhere in Europe people spend up to 3 hours behind their scope because of a lack of staff.
People have lunch behind the mike as well because there's nobody to relieve them.
I know those hours are unacceptable, but can you shed some light on what the norm is, and what can be done in exceptional circumstances?

Thanks.
