Hi

I was recently told by a Dom that your daily break for delivery staff is 30 minutes for a 7 hour shift. I was under the impression it was 5 minutes every hours or is that lies?

It isn't 5 minutes/hour as you suggest.
5 - 7 hours is 30 minutes
7 hours and 1 minute+ is 40 minutes.

The full table can be found in The Way Forward Agreement.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
