Krispy Kreme Krew… that explains a lot.
I get two 10 min breaks in a 10 hr shift
Fuck America.
I think this is actually illegal in most states
Legal in my fucking bullshit state. Fucking fuck fuck fuck America.
When your only option is getting fucked over, and you need to play it safe, destroy them one inch at a time.
Be asymmetrical. Be guerilla. Every single day.
Unionize every workplace
in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society
The breaks worked similarly when I worked hourly shifts in the US:
- <= 6 hrs: 1x 15m paid break
- > 6 hrs: 1x 30m unpaid lunch, 2x 15m paid breaks
It was most common to be scheduled for 6 hr shifts so the company could avoid paying for the extra break.
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
Is that not what’s happening here? 5 or more hours you get a 30 minute break
This is similar in California. Tho to clarify, this is a 30 minute break that is unpaid.
This is the kind of fucking bullshit that happens when a company goes public. It is no longer about product and productivity; it is about value extraction. The first place it is extracted from is the labor force.
