Taking away paid lunch breaks would seem to go against federal law....

After looking it up:

"Federal Law states that all breaks lasting under 20 minutes are considered part of the workday and must be paid. Meal breaks lasting 30 minutes or longer can be unpaid, so long as employees don't work during that time. Employers are not required to give rest breaks. Employers are not required to give meal breaks."

That sucks.
