Amazon is facing another lawsuit over its workplace practices. A former employee alleges the company failed to give 30-minute meal breaks to workers at one of its California fulfillment centers. It claims that employees who did receive proper breaks were required to monitor their walkie-talkies, which cut into their break times. The former employee claims Amazon’s shifts were “chronically understaffed,” which affected workers taking 10-minute breaks.
