Summary
The Worker Rights and Support Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to mandate specific break times for employees, including meal, rest, restroom, and medical breaks. It sets pay rules for those breaks and allows employees to waive meal breaks only with their consent. The bill also preserves stronger state or collective‑bargaining provisions and outlines enforcement penalties.
