There's a lawsuit going down at my place over wages. We rarely get breaks or lunch shifts which I don't really mind but apparently our employer is supposed to compensate an hour wage for each missed break and missed lunch every day this occurs unless we sign a waiver. I normally work 6.5+ hours a day with no break or lunch. They lawyer we got is on a contingency fee and he agreed to take our case since we have time sheets and about 10 people with the same story. My question is can I be fired for this? I been there 6 years already and everyone else on the case (current and past employees) worked at least 3 years each, some up to 10. Also how often do contingency cases lose? I'm assuming lawyers only take when they're 99% sure they'll win right? Everything used to be real chill at my job which is why no one did anything before but we got a new douche boss who fired a few people for stupid reasons and got rid of our tip pool and pays us hourly on banquets when our gratuity used to be real good so now they're striking back. Any tips NT?
Cliffs:
Don't take breaks or lunches at work
Work used to be chill but not no more so we striking back and got a lawyer
What should I beware of legally and at work?
Any stories?
