The way the law is written now, part time workers are harmed. Where is your sympathy?

I remember when i was younger and i worked a 5-6 hour shift I hated it when my boss said I had to take a half hour break. Would much rather have gotten my shift over a half hour early.
But instead, gov't got to decide my shift for me. Hooray freedom!
Good one, and Walmart had to be brought to court and sued for denying workers a lunch time.
All the employeer has too do is re-word a contract and bingo, you loose all of the rights you have fought for. Maybe it is people like you that have never had to really fight for something.
Why do you need a 30 minute break plus a 15 minute break after only 5 hours of work?
When I was a workaday slob I rarely if ever took a 30 minute lunch break. I got 2 15 minute breaks and that was plenty of time to eat a bologna sandwich and have a cup of coffee or a coke
I used to punch out 30 minutes before the rest of the guys who waned to sit on their asses for an extra half hour every day.
Seriously, why would anyone want to hang around work for an extra half hour a day if they didn't have to?
I've never in my life been denied a lunch break, nor have I ever known anyone who has been denied a lunch break. Now, to this day there are times when I get immersed in what I am doing and cannot go to lunch till later in the day.. it's just the way things go some times.
Sounds like more left wing crybaby bullshit over a non-issue.

Well, if it's never happened to you, then it OBVIOUSLY never happens to anyone!
I'm sure your anecdotal, unsupported opinion means something to you, but it's time for the adults to discuss things, so run along.
And as if to make my point....here's some talking heads on FOX....talking about the NIGHTMARE of paying maids a poverty wage.

What they don't tell you is this...
A New Yorker would have to make $123,322 a year to have the same standard of living as someone making $50,000 in Houston.
In Manhattan, a $60,000 salary is equivalent to someone making $26,092 in Atlanta.
"Income levels that would enable a very comfortable lifestyle in other locales barely suffice to provide the basics in New York City," the report concludes.
N.Y.C. so costly you need to earn six figures to make middle class - New York Daily News
So yes, it appears that conservatives ARE this disconnected from reality.

What's your problem with ppl giving their real life scenarios about the issue YOU presented with this thread?
I've never heard of anyone being denied a lunch break. The other poster has never been denied one, i've never been denied one, has anyone on this board?
The only thing i've had happen to me, and Skull as well, is we've had our right to choose our breaks stripped of us thanks to gov't. A policy you support, against the will of workers.

Great post, I think minimum wage in New York should be $60,000.
Because certainly in america if a place is too expensive to live, it's impossible to move what with the shaky wagon wheels on buggies, strong wind gusts and plate tectonics.

I guess you missed the part where this was NYC and not "america" and how my sourced evidence compared living expenses there and another part of the country for comparison.
It's a common mistake a lot of stupid people make.

So everyone should live as you want to?
A pretty self centered attitude to me.

No i want every worker in new york to at least be able to live to a standard of $26,000 a year. So gov't shoudl force every business in the area to pay at least $60,000.
That'd be great for businesses, workers, and everyone else living on Gumdrop Lane in Liberal Utopia where every afternoon Obama takes a dump and out come Otis Spunkmeyer cookies for all the children to enjoy.
Are conservatives REALLY this disconnected from reality?
"President Barack Obama's decision to require most employers to cover birth control and insurers to offer it at no cost has created a firestorm of controversy.
But the central mandatethat most employers have to cover preventative care for womenhas been law for over a decade."
One Libertarian leaning GOP State Rep does not represent the GOP. I appreciate that is difficult for democrats to understand - as you are a borg-like species who 'group think'.
Man, your drugs must be good.
Congratulations on having no comeback.
Idiot.
