    Yep. While negotiating our last CBA I brought this up as an option. The union told me we’re not even allowed to voluntarily wave our lunch break.

      Well then it’s not yours. And it should be paid. If the labour regulations say you have to take an unpaid break, the labour regulations are bad.

        Step back and think about why that regulation exists to begin with. No one said it’s perfect but it’s better than what was.
