Author: Long, dreadful hours in labor with no break..illegal?
Ok I just got hired not too long ago maybe about 4/5 wks now. I work as a waitress and I'm starting to find my job more dreadful as my schedule and hours are being extended since I am improving. I work 10-11 hrs straight on the weekedn and I get no break. Sometimes I get so hungry but I can't eat unless it slows down but sometimes it never does…I probably have at least one chance to eat and then I work until close. Because the restaurant is soo busy and jam pack, it's very demanding of my body. For instance, my back starts soring really bad and my feet and of course I'm hungry. I am constantly running and working all the time. There are days when I don't even get to sit down and rest for more than a minute. It's terrible. I want to ask my boss what she can do to make it less “demanding” for us workers but I'm afraid she might doubt my ability and come to the conclusion that she should fire me.
If I talk to her and she does, would that not be illegal? If it is, where do I report it to?
I am 20 years old by the way.
