Personally, I’m fine with a working lunch, as long as I stay clocked in. Because it means I either pick up OT at the end of the day, or I get to leave early. But this only works because I have a fairly flexible schedule, set my own meetings, etc… And I certainly wouldn’t try to enforce it on my coworkers, because they may want to be able to walk away and disconnect for a while.
Meal time is time for whatever you want to do; If you want to stay at your desk and play catch-up on some emails, then great. If you want to walk away and de-stress for an hour, then great. Neither one should be the expectation, because the time should be at the employee’s discretion, not the employer’s.
I'm a public servant and our ex-president (who was in charge at the time of our strike) was sitting on the executive board for the party in power. It was a very big issue and they have since been voted out.

Dude looks miserable in both photos and I just want to give him a hug and let him cry on my shoulder.

That's how they get you to agree to a 30 minute lunch break..

And to think it would snap him out of his sociopathic thinking socially brought onto him by capitalistic ideology.

When I got my first corporate job, I was lectured about the concept of a "working lunch."

To paraphrase my manager, "It would behoove you to consider what you can do for the company."

Just out of frame there are a hundred shareholders cheering him on. The miserable look is an act.

This is true of an enterprise/company union. Industrial unions tip the seesaw to the other side.

What about when the president of your union also sits on the board for your execs :')
(What happens is they don't fight for you and you all get fucked and still have to pay your fees to those mf-ers)
I'm not anti-union, just anti- my union.
