Have you met our government?

Yeah, I told her to inquire about it but she doesn't want to make waves. Kentucky law (where Worldport is located) says that for 6 hours of work, you get a "reasonable" (albeit undefined) meal period. It just kind of sticks in my craw to think of people busting their ass, being stuck at a job for who even knows how many hours, and all without any kind of significant break to look forward to.

What about all the employees at Worldport?

How do they justify skirting the state law that says that employees are entitled to an unpaid meal period during their shift?

My daughter works "part time" and routinely works 8 hour shifts, sometimes longer. As I understand it, there aren't even set schedules, they just go home when they're released for the day, so one may or may not be stuck working a full shift, and yet they aren't provided with a meal period.
