[QUOTE="BruisedLegs, post: 969292, member: 30668"] So here's the deal. I'm a loader. On Friday, I was told to work through break. 6 minutes into working through break my supervisor to take whatever I had left of my break which was about 3-4 minutes and to come back and he would give me the rest later. I told him that's ridiculous, I want my full 10 minutes. He responded by saying to work as directed. I demanded a shop steward. After 20 minutes of no shop steward I asked where the shop steward was, he responded he was paged and there's nothing he can do. 30 minutes pass and I told him I needed to speak to a full timer. Full time supervisor spoke to me and told me that a shop steward was paged. He told me I'm entitled "UP TO 10 minutes". He told me "When your supervisor has enough time he'll put you on break". Fastfastword, I was never given a break. I was never granted a shop steward. When all the loads were clean I asked my supervisor if there was anything else he needed me to do. He told me yes take your break. Keep in mind it was 10:15 PM. Start time was 6:00 PM. This is ridiculous to me. On top of that I worked through break two weeks ago and was not paid the 10 minutes and it was later corrected. Any thoughts on how I should handle this next time? [/QUOTE]
