New Hampshire Republican proposes end to lunch break law [View all]

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/09/new-hampshire-republican-proposes-end-to-lunch-break-law/


A Republican State Representative in New Hampshire has found a way to create a new front in the war on workers, proposing a bill that would repeal the state’s law requiring that workers get a 30-minute lunch break after five hours of labor.

State Rep. J.R. Hoell (R), a supporter of libertarian-leaning Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) for president, told a New Hampshire General Court committee this week that he believes the law is unnecessary because it is in employers’ interest to treat workers well, according to The Concord Monitor.

I know for one place my work place already dictate EVERY asspect of my life at work. I have to "request" an away from desk whenever I need to go to the bathroom. So calls stop coming to me and I can go and take care of business. THEY stop my calls so I can take my lunch break instead of allowing me to stop my own calls. So If I am suppose to go to lunch at 12:30 but the supervisor doesn't put me away from desk until 12:45 or whenever things "slow down" OH, Well.

It is humiliating in my mind.
