    Protect Your Right to a Lunch Break! California Labor Federation
    Governor Schwarzenegger is trying to bully California workers out of their lunch breaks! The Governor was forced to rescind the "emergency" status of his rule changes, but he is still attacking the guaranteed right to a lunch break for California workers.

    The rule changes announced by the Governor would weaken workers' rights to breaks and meal periods and would shorten the amount of time that employers can be held liable for refusing to provide them. Companies like Wal-Mart that are being sued for cheating their workers out of lunch breaks would be off the legal hook if Gov. Schwarzenegger’s changes go into effect.
