Here is the situation. Husband got a 3rd shift job at a Mobil on the run. which is ok because the pay is good and he doesnt mind the shift. the problem is. he works by himself and doesnt get a half hour break so he can sit or eat or something he does get to go out for a smoke if there isnt anyone in the store but cant go to the bathroom because he is alone. he isnt allowed to sit either there is always something to do they tell him. now after 4 hours i thought u had to have a break? and then last night he was off work not scheduled and went out to play pool and got a voicemail saying he had to come in he didnt check his messages till 11pm when he was heading home got the message called they told him he HAD to come in so he was 20 minutes late coming in and he got spoken to in the morning by the manager for being 20 min late. is this legal? she told him he has to come in on his days off when they call him even if they leave the message on voicemail.

Go to the Labor Board web site for that state if it is set up like the one in states where I have lived you can view/ download the labor laws.

Look in the phone book and call your town or city hall and ask them for the number to the labor law department in you state. If they don't have it, call you local state house and ask to speak to some who deals with labor laws. Good luck, it doesn't sound right what's happening to your husband. If you have the day off, they aren't supposed to demand you come, they should ask nicely.
