Again, if you are standing in line at the end of the day, you ain't working, therefore should not get paid.
If my employer wants me to spend my time standing in line then that is what they can pay me to do. If they don't want to pay me for that time then do not require it.
My time is as valuable to me, perhaps even more so, than the hourly rate that the employer has agreed to pay me.
Even at my stage in my career if I am on call and get busy over a weekend. You can bet your bottom dollar I'm taking a free day off during the week to compensate for the time lost to my family.
If an employer has a required activity for an employee that employee better damn well be paid for it.
And to the other person saying that someone wasn't a long term employee because they used their rights. BS. They may be watched closely for other errors but I bet they have never ever been fired for taking breaks being the cause.
