Yes we have no mandatory paid breaks. If you get a holiday you are lucky. We have no medical protection. Few states have mandatory accrual of some days off or sick day. It's horrible here.

    Mandatory paid breaks are definitely a thing here. CA is 10 minutes every 4 hours. FMLA and workers comp cover medical protection. I can't remember the last time I even pretended to consider a job without holiday pay and vacation, though i agree they should be mandatory and not optional. Where exactly are you working with conditions like you describe?
