'I see you're not a team player': Boss limits breaks to two 15-minute sessions due to being understaffed, employee consults union and faces backlash for reporting

Let's face it: we all need a break from work. There's no way our brains can stay totally engrossed for 8+ hours while still producing our best quality work all day long. Whether it's stepping outside for a quick breath of fresh air or eating a snack, sometimes that mental break is really what an employee needs to power through the rest of the day's tasks. Well, this boss is trying to mandate a new break policy. He's only allowing his employees two 15-minute breaks a day due to the company being short-staffed. If you ask us, overworking your employees with no time to recuperate sounds like a straight path to burnout and terrible retention rates. Nonetheless, the entitled boss pulled his authority card and mandated the breaks anyway. So, one employee decided to ask his work union if this was allowed. He claims he did it with harmless intentions, but his boss seems to think otherwise.
