Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Labor laws

My job has me working an 8 hour shift without any breaks. They have been sued for this in the past and have required breaks but they continue to work me 8 hr shifts alone and it can be so busy you don't even get enough time to one self to use the restroom without locking up the business to do so.

Re: Labor laws

If you are the only employee affected, file a complaint with the California Labor Commissioner's office.

If many employees are affected, meet with an attorney who handles class action lawsuits, to see if your case is viable.
