TYT: Republicans Attack Employee Lunch Breaks!

[ihavenobias]

Republicans in the state of New Hampshire "proposed doing away with the law that requires employers to give their workers time off for lunch, under the rationale that all employers will simply grant lunch breaks out of the goodness of their hearts".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

1. Yeah, what if your employer's heart doesn't HAVE any goodness?

2. I had a part-time job, I was REQUIRED to take a lunch break on a 6-hour shift

The boss said it was "the law." But when they didn't pay me for the last several weeks I worked there, I couldn't find any law to require them to pay me the wages I earned.

3. At AT&T U-verse you can't "make your numbers" if you take ANY breaks.

So they already took them away.
