    What is the normal break/lunch time provided? 15m sounds like torture. You would have to swallow your food and can’t even digest it before you are back working

      I get a 15 minute break at 9:00 and 30 minutes lunch (unpaid) at 12:00. Work starts at 6:30 and ends at 15:00. Mon - Fri

      Georgia, USA factory worker

      Until September we had been 6:30 - 17:00, Mon - Thu, with 10 minutes break at 10:00, 30 minutes lunch (unpaid) at 12:00, and 10 minutes break at 14:00.

      Fuck corporate meddling and I hope they really enjoy the crash in production. This is the 3rd time they have tried to force us into a 5 day schedule in the 8 years I’ve been employed there, both other times reverting back to 4 10s within a few months due to lost output.

      No the 15min are separate.

      Lunch is usually 30min-1hr (unpaid)

      Then one or two 15min breaks (paid)

      At least in retail that was my experience.
