Yes you need to talk to your union official.

No. No employer can override labor laws. So if you look up the law (they have to have the poster in a visible place at work) and it says you get 2 30 min breaks in a 12 hr work day then tell them you will take your break. And report them if they dont follow the law. There should be a number or address on the poster telling you who to report issues to.

It fully depends on your union contract, which can vary from location to location. Where I work at, we get one lunch break and two 15 minute breaks. We keep busy so the breaks are good for most of us except the heavy smokers.
