Work expect me to work through my unpaid lunch hour

QUOTE FROM 'FLUFFI': Yes the lunch hour is unpaid, but the OP gets over a hour and a half of paid breaks a week and is being asked to work through one lunch hour. This seems to be an unusual event and probably wouldn't happen more than once every couple of months, so over a year they might be working 4-5 lunch hours but in return they get 77 hours of paid breaks (which is a perk of their contracts). So yes a lunch hour has been stolen but they still get a lot more than that over a whole year ... another employer wouldn't give any paid breaks at all!

So the employer is in the wrong, then?

Not really no. The OP is/was basically being unreasonable over an (extremely) minor issue and other posters (notably MSE79) were egging him on and basically encouraging him to try and get himself in hot water..thought that was well established.

Please feel free to keep flogging this decomposing horse however.
