[nagdu] New job, Cagney can't be with me

[NCBootman]

Many jobs do not guarantee specific breaks at specific times. I worked in a 
Customer Service role for a while. If I got a complicated call, my break has 
been shifted by an hour. Retail people may not go to break at the same time 
every day. If the store is suddenly full of people, you don't say it's my 
break time. Firemen and police don't get a break at break time. If they are 
in a chase, they keep working. Nurses don't stop working on a patient 
because it is break time. They keep working and get their break when they 
can. And, sometimes, the shift is such that they all have a lot of down time 
so some would say did not earn their wages. The law does say that for 
specific amounts of work you are entitled to specific amounts of break. In 
Debbie's case, that is the only thing not clear. If there's a fire, a code 
blue or red, her break will have to wait. She knows this going in. If she 
starts complaining to all the boards in the government, she will be labeled 
as an unhappy employee and a problem maker. She either won't be hired or she 
will find herself without a job. Is this right? No. Is it reality? Yes.
This is completely leaving blindness out of the picture.

Oh, I see, but it still isn't legal, is it?
