Comment on They are so dumb they want to piss everyone off for a lousy 15 minutes

in Germany it is required by law that you have a 30 minute break if you work for 6 or more hours, and that is federal minimum. Turbo-capitalism ruins a society
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)
This is similar in California. Tho to clarify, this is a 30 minute break that is unpaid.

Good thing we don’t have one of those.
Is that not what’s happening here? 5 or more hours you get a 30 minute break

The breaks worked similarly when I worked hourly shifts in the US:
It was most common to be scheduled for 6 hr shifts so the company could avoid paying for the extra break.
