Question

I work at tyson foods in monroe nc and they work 10 or 11 Hrs. and get 45 minutes for lunch only.?

Answer 1

If you don't like the job, quit.  Plenty of work out there.

Answer 2

federal law requires a 15 minute break at the middle of every four hour period, and a 30 minute break for  every period of 6 hours or more....

the employer was required to post this at one time, but may not have too any longer...

Answer 3

Depending on which state you live in and how long your breaks are you may be entitled to a lunch. For example, in Kansas, you are required to have a break every 150 minutes (2 1/2 hours), the breaks are required to be at least 10 minutes, but no more than 15 minutes. The lunch period is required to be at least 30 minutes for every 8 hours worked. So in Kansas if you work 10 hours the break is required to be at least 35 minutes but no longer than 45 minutes. For more information you should see the laws on labor in the state that you work in, most states require these laws to be posted somewhere on the premises.

*** Recently in Emporia, Kansas Tysons Food was fined $50,000 for not following these laws so it might be worth looking into the laws in your state ***
