I have a friend that works at a well known company and she does not get any type of breaks, including toilet breaks, for her whole shift. The duty member of staff there has said that because she does not smoke she does not need a break. Also this friend is told she has to go to work even if really ill as they cant be bothered to find some body to cover her shift. I am really worried about my friend as she can be doing between 6 and 16 hours a day and still no breaks are given to her. For a toilet break she has to walk off the shop floor and leave the shop open to theift. The c.a.b have told me it is againts the law but the company decides on what breaks are allowed and for how many hours worked.
