[QUOTE="35years, post: 2514165, member: 60822"] Ask your steward to get involved. Ask your steward how much break you get, and when. You likely are due a second 10 minute break after that many hours. Read the National contract and your regional and local supplements. You are in the right here. If they dare fire you you will have a strong case...you were denied break. There are State laws regarding mandatory break. Check with your State Department of Labor. Never loose your cool with sups or managers. Document all conversations. Ask to have a steward present. If they want to talk to you, ask if the conversation could lead to discipline...If so, demand a steward and refuse to say anything more until one is present. If they deny your break again tell them you will have to call the Dept. of Labor hotline to check if you are owed break. You have seen what they are really like. Time to take the blinders off and realize they are not on your side. Protect yourself. [/QUOTE]
