But the law hasn't changed. It's just a disambiguation. Just because workers can work through their lunch breaks doesn't mean a culture will arise where they're expected to do so. Employers still can't compel anyone to do it. A law forbidding working through lunch wouldn't even be tenable. Can't stop me from doing work in my head while I pretend to be relaxing.

Edit: I've had one job that was unionized. Coworkers would get angry when I didn't take every break to which I was entitled (apparently they worked so little that they could notice what I was doing at all times). "We FOUGHT for those coffee breaks!" "Sorry. Shit to do."

hello lungfish


Hi, how r u. Plz rename thread "California workers still not obliged to take lunch breaks when they would prefer to work"

e: I didn't realize at the time that "lungfish" was a past user. I mistook it for a term of endearment/slur. I am not and have never been lungfish.

with intellectual labor the term "work" is a bit more ambiguous so it's really hard to enforce anything, unless you arent actually meeting deadlines or producing thangs

probably a pack of vicious union enforcers, since the concept of a "union" is a ridiculous joke in a country of 1st world bougie parasites like Amerikkka. trot trot trot trot st

wait, so the plaintiffs were restaurant workers, talking about "missed breaks"? i dont really understand how that corresponds at all w/ the judge's ruling?

"Most of the time you didn't get a break or a rest period at all, it just wasn't a part of the daily operation," Hohnbaum said.

whoa it appears as if a republican appointed judge just took an anti-labor stance even if it makes no sense in context to the specifics of the case, weird.

yea and if you look at the quotes the plaintiffs don't even seem disappointed. it's probably just some dicta the huffpo blew out of proportion but i'm not going to find out b/c if i wanted to read opinions i'd be studying for finals not posting on the rHizzone a playground for ideas

CBC used to be NABET, which was super hardcore and used to strike every three years or so. ultimately they fucked themselves with the legalistic shit though, at one point tape rewinding was in the job desc of a particular NABET contract and you needed to find a tape rewinder in order to rewind a tape. if you couldn't find one you were SOL and if someone saw you rewinding a tape w/o designated tape rewinder they'd file a grievance and make you apologise for rewinding the tape lmao

fast forward ten years and NABET is out on its ass, CMG is in, who is far less legalistic (anyone who's qualified to do a job can do it at any time irrespective of their contract status), but they're also pansies and never strike. had NABET been more flexible they might have kept that shop and the workers would almost certainly be doing better
