I'd take it a step further. Paid breaks should be required.

Have you ever worked in a factory 12 hours without a break?

It sucks.

there's factors. like how long is the shift? what kind of work? etc...

like 8 hours in a laid back office? yea you should still get a lunch break but if you get plenty of down time then who cares. warehouse/factory work? you should be getting a break every 2 or so hours.

but really if you're working more than a 4 hour shift you should get a break. more than 6 hours you should get a lunch break.

1st world Americans that apply for jobs they know up front what the damn terms and conditions are yet choose to bitch about shit like no breaks are why we need more immigrants in this country that are willing to work these positions for less.

I'm split. I like breaks, but having your supervisor come tell you to take a break or else they'll write you up is overboard. Most of the time you're in the zone and don't want to take a break at that moment.
Agreed.

Sometimes I don't want to take a break. I'd rather power through and get my work done.

Yeah, it's in every company's best interest. Productivity will decrease otherwise. People will become exhausted or uninvested.

I used to work at Walmart and they talr break seriously. Got written up because i took my lunch "too late into the shift". Who gived a shit so long as i take It? And i'm by myself. What do you want me to do, just walk away in the middle of costumer interaction?

I mean they should regardless. People tend to be more productive when they get breaks.

Nobody comes here illegally if what they were being offered wasnt a better alternative than whatever they had going on in their native country. Denying primarily brown people the right to work because youre deciding on their behalf that theyre being exploited is racist.
