    It’s not illegal where I live but it’s against my union rules (though it’s not a labour job). They have super strict rules about exactly when we should take our breaks. I get it in principle because there are asshole bosses who would try to force people to work through their breaks or shame them into it, but it really sucks for those of us who just don’t mind pushing through so we can leave early or like to take late lunches.

      Yeah, that’s one thing that sucks about union jobs. On the other hand, I’m no longer at a union job and can break/lunch whenever I want, but my boss can make unrealistic expectations and I have no way to argue if I can’t get another manager in the line to back me up. My current workplace is very quickly turning into a shittty place to work since there isn’t a union to push back.
