[QUOTE="Billy, post: 622153, member: 17377"] In VA the only people protected by law are minors. ( according to the VA Dept of Labor ) I called them and asked once if we could be forced to take a lunch and was told yes. They told me of a employee that was fired during his lunch break for eating with an ex-employee. Apparently the boss fired this guy but his friend still went to lunch with him. They had done that their entire career together. The boss said he was not to spend lunch with his friend. The employee thought he could do what he chose during his non paid break. He went to lunch with his friend and was fired. The employee tried to sue, and file for unemployment but lost. Read the laws closely if you chose to argue it in your state. I thought we were protected here, but it turned out that only was those under 18. [/QUOTE]
