Yes, because Federal labor law requires employers to provide lunch breaks.
Provided all federal and state labor laws are followed regarding relief breaks and pay, and provided the mandatory overtime is included in the job description or profile, yes - overtime can be made mandatory.
Yes, this can be done by any employer if he chooses to.
The first amendment.

The requirement for an employer to contribute to a 401k plan is not mandatory by law, but it is up to the employer to decide if they want to make contributions to their employees' 401k accounts.
There is no law about how many days you can work in a row. If an employer needs you at work and if you want the job you go to work. There is no limit. There are only laws on number of hours worked/overtime and the number of breaks/lunch/dinner that are to be given in a work day. There are also no laws about working holidays. I am sure that if you don't want to work the employer can find someone who is out of work to replace you.
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.
It depends on where you live. Some schools make it a rule that cafeteria workers must where gloves, but other places don't make it mandatory.
In New York yes however your meal period must be uninterrupted and free of any work obligations.
Well, in them 8 hours, you need 3 breaks so you can relax. If the employer is telling you to stand like bullying, its wrong and should be dealt with in any country,
As a conscientious employer, Publix observes all the federal and state laws concerning labor. If you work for six hours, the federal law says that you are entitled to a lunch break of at least 1/2 hour. For seven hours, you are also entitled to a ten minute break plus the lunch break. For an eight hour shift, you are entitled to two ten minute breaks and a one hour lunch break. Publix vigorously enforces the law. State law may vary in your state, and Publix has certain employees in your district to make sure these laws are observed.
Anyone who works about 6 - 12 hours a day should have a min of 30 min break which in most cases is divided by two. (that will make two 15 min breaks in 6-12h period) Big companies will give you an hour lunch (that might not be paid by the employer) plus one or two 15 min breaks. It all depends where you work, but the minimum time limit for break/s for 8 hours of work is 30 min.
