Working directive for engineers

I once stumbled across a document that gave the suggested working week for licensed engineers, but now I can't find it.

I'm looking for something that says that you can't be expected to work seven days a week continuously, without any planned days off.

The job in question only takes between three to five hours each day (an ETOPS transit), but the expectation is to plod along and do it indefinitely as a full time contract covering at least one flight a day, seven days a week.

Can anyone point me to a document that might show management that this is not an acceptable working practice? As far as I'm aware it's not illegal, but I think it goes against CAA/EASA recommendations.

Cheers
