More details to this question:
I worked for a company that has part time employees working 6 hour shift but would not allow us to take a lunch break. We were allowed to take a 10 min break usually at the beginning of the shift (2-3 hours in) and no other breaks afterwards. Is this against the law?

It seems that if there was not a mutual waiver of the right to those breaks that the employer is obligated to provide those breaks and that a failure to do so results in a wage claim ...
Meal periods. Under Lab C §512(a), an employee may not be required to work for a period of more than 5 hours per day without a meal period of at least 30 minutes; however, if the total work period per day is 6 hours or less, the meal period may be waived by mutual consent of both the employer and employee.
