Petition Increase the amount of entitled breaks employees are allowed on a shift.

Currently workers have the right to one uninterrupted 20 minute rest break if they work more than 6 hours a day. I want parliament to increase the amount of rest breaks every 3 hours for a 20 minute uninterrupted rest break.

More details

I would also want parliament to increase uninterrupted breaks in a 12 hour shift every 3 hours. So every employee gets 3 uninterrupted breaks every 3 hours in a 12 hour shift.
