Have you or anyone you know ever sued for not having a lunch break?

Published

I have been working in the ER world now since 2009. Typically we don't get lunch breaks, which i'm use too. I almost always eat in between patients. I know quite often the nurses miss breaks too.

So my question is have y'all ever come across anyone who has sued heir employer for consistently not getting a break during their 12 hour shift, and if so what was the outcome?

I'm not thinking about or interested in pursuing a lawsuit but I am curious to hear if others have done the opposite.

Breaks during a shift, such as a ten minute break, and lunch breaks are not only federal law but they are governed by OSHA.

I am aware of several lawsuits in my state about this that settled for millions of dollars.
