You have to remember you are taking the word of a radial leftist about not being given breaks. She worked there for nine years. That’s a long time to work for an abusive employer, don’t you think? Without documentation and/or multiple witnesses, I don’t believe anything leftists say.
I totally agree that employees are due breaks. I just doubt the word of a radical leftist.
I have known a lot of people because they were desperate for a job (single moms) put up with a lot on a job that was not right and could, and should have got the employer sued. Yes 9 years is way too long and she should have said something before now. At least if she was fired after complaining after a year she could have got unemployment and sued again for being fired.
