The newly appointed California Labor Commissioner, Angela Bradstreet, held public hearings in Sacramento on August 2 and in Los Angeles on August 9 in an attempt to reopen the issue of meal and rest breaks. Dozens of union members and community allies attended both hearings to share their concerns that changes made to existing regulations could weaken their protections.

While the Administration hasn't yet proposed new regulations, working families are concerned that these forums may be laying the groundwork for another attempt to weaken the right to lunch and rest breaks for California workers, similar to the effort made by the Schwarzenegger administration in 2004.

It’s not too late to submit comments on this issue! Comments about meal and rest breaks are being accepted until August 31^st. Please send a message to Commissioner Bradstreet urging her not to endanger our lunch and rest breaks.
