Alabama does not have a law requiring employers to give any breaks to employees no matter what days they work.
...
There is no federal or Alabama state law mandating that an employer must allow for any meal breaks or other breaks, regardless of the day of the week that is worked.

Can an employer in Alabama make you work a 12 hour shift without a break if they pay you extra?
Yes, an employer in Alabama can make you work a 12 hour shift without a break - but they do not have to pay you extra. There is no federal or Alabama state law mandating that an employer must allow for any meal breaks or other breaks. For information on federal labor laws concerning paid breaks, meal breaks and other breaks, see this website: http:/www.dol.gov/dol/topic/workhours/breaks.htm For information on Alabama state laws concerning meal breaks or other breaks, see this website: http://www.humanresourceblog.com/2008/02/05/alabama-break-laws/ Also, here is an additional website that combines information on federal and Alabama state laws into a comprehensive summary: http://blog.laborlawcenter.com/2006/07/27/alabama-lunch-and-break-law/ If an employer does allow for short breaks (20 minutes or less), they are still required to pay you for that time by federal law. However, if a break is 30 minutes or more (typically this would be a meal break), then they do not have to pay you for that time.
What causes conflict between employees and stakeholders?
As you probably know, stakeholders are the owners of the company. The employees work for the company and are compensated as such. Ideally, everyone gets along--employees feel appreciated through their pay and work, and stakeholders reap profits. Conflicts occur when the trust breaks down. Specifically, a shareholder may want to take money out of the company (in a dividend, for example), and the employees may feel a bonus for employees would be a better use of the money. The most common example I can think of is company expenses: stakeholders want a lean-and-mean company, and employees would enjoy more money be spent for their sake--higher benefits, award programs, etc. If these problems continue, both sides lose. A company without decent employees will not make money for the stakeholders, and eventually they will have to lay off employees because there is not enough money to pay them. That equals no money for stakeholders and no jobs/money for employees. A smart company will find a way to align the stakeholders and employees desires. Give employees some ownership in the company, or at least give them bonuses for running a tight ship. One thing to remember is that Shareholders and Stakeholders are not the same thing. They both have different meanings and different purposes

Can an employer take out time from my hours worked for breaks that I don't get?
An employer can require you to take breaks, but cannot deduct time for breaks and then prevent you from taking breaks. If time is being deducted for those breaks, you must be allowed to take the breaks. However, if you have decided not to take breaks because you want to be paid more money, then that is your own doing, it is not the employer's fault. You are being given breaks, so take your breaks. Requirements for breaks vary by jurisdiction (which is to say, the law doesn't work the same way in all locations) but it is quite usual that there is a labor regulation that requires employers to give breaks to employees, and if employees don't take those breaks, it will then appear that the employer is breaking the law. That's why the employer may insist that you take breaks.

Is downtime at work considered a break?
The answer to this question depends largely on the the state in which one lives. Some states do not require employers to provide breaks to employees, and therefore, it is up to the employer to dictate the terms of employee breaks. Some states require employers to provide breaks to employees doing certain types of work or working in certain industries, but not others. Some states require employer to provide breaks unless the employee has sufficient "downtime." Lastly, some state require all employers to provide employees with breaks, regardless of how busy they are while working. Identifying the state in which the employee works would permit a more complete and accurate answer.
