Comment on FL wants more child labor
FrChazzz@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoTruth. I grew up in Florida I always had breaks (first job was at age 16 at a pet store and I had LOTS of jobs after that) and was shocked when a friend of mine was working a fast food joint, in management, and had no lunch break. I told him he should sue and then we saw the law. Guess all my other employers were just cool or something. (I mean, they weren’t paid breaks—my friend was not even given the time in his schedule for breaks).

That’s food service. I love in a state that technically requires a paid 10 every 4 hours but they just make it so that affirming that you took all your required breaks is part of your clock-out procedure. To answer ‘no’ you have to get a manager to swipe their card and verify that you did not receive your mandated breaks. Then it goes into a report that makes them look bad. You can imagine how they react when you start consistently telling on their negligence. I don’t know anyone who works there who tells the truth all the time.
