When on our lunch breaks or regular breaks ?

On our lunch breaks , the upper management team now sits and eats with us subordinates. Makes for an uncomfortable lunch enviroment. We have been told, can't talk about "sensitive" subjects such as politics and religeon and so on.the majority hate it so much , we now either go to our cars or leave the premises on our lunch breaks.Been working for many years @ this place , this is the first management team to come into the employee break room.Someone said its against the law, that we should have a place to unwind with out this type of stress.any thoughts? Just a question , its not something I will act upon. i ll just keep eating in my car.:/

    This sounds like some kind of social engineering by the company. I don't think it is illegal per se, but it certainly shows that the company does not care about the opinions of the employees. It's a shame you are being chased out of your comfort zone, but short of going to your HR rep I don't see any way out of the situation. If you want some real answers you might speak to an attorney that specializes in labor relations.

    Good luck.

    Management is free to take them lunch in the same room you do, the government has no say in who has lunch with who that would be company policy.

    You, and the managers, are free to eat lunch anywhere you want. If you don't want to eat with them then go somewhere else. It's not illegal for them to eat with you.

    No, it's not against any law.
