How in the world did they come up with that number? I would like to know exactly who it is that counted up the number of days/shifts (for months or years on end) that these workers were "deprived" of rest breaks I'm not a Walmart hater--but I have a hard time walking into any store and seeing large numbers of employees that aren't working. IMHO, it seems like they get to take breaks, they just do so without clocking out. Or going to a breakroom. So over the course of more than 8 years, lost rest breaks totaled $76M in PA alone.
