Reply to comment by stuartroelke in Getting Paid Lunches in MA by stuartroelke

I don’t know what line of work you’re in but I get hour lunches and have at other jobs. When I get my lunch I get plenty of time to do stuff and I don’t know exactly what you’re looking to do on your lunch break but now it seems you want time to eat lunch and do other stuff on top of that all while getting paid. That’s quite the fantasy. You want to go fight for that right all the power to you. There are probably bigger labor issues that you could spend your energy focusing on however.

Other labor issues don’t necessarily reflect my experience, and someone else can work on those if they choose. Your privileges while on break also don’t reflect my working conditions since moving to MA, so you might not feel as strongly about this as I do.

I’m looking for some insight into changing what I believe is an injustice. It doesn’t have to be a fantasy to fight for workers rights, but it seems that the general opinion lately is “why bother?” That’s pretty unsettling, and ultimately not helpful.
