Consider this: Is it a fair compromise?

What if you approach them and ask them to pay you for your break, and they say, OK, but we're no longer going to let you do your work on our time. Would you be better off?

Nothing wrong with enforcing your rights, and those rights are there to protect certain minimum standards. Remember though you are getting a benefit above and beyond which most employers would allow, so I'm not so sure I'd rock the boat if I were you.
They technically could say I can't do my homework but that would mean they would have to actually check up on every location, cause other employees at other locations do the same. Add the fact that they all are pretty lazy and it took me 2 years of working here to actually see what the Manager looked like (he was the manager even before I started), and don't answer their phones, for employees and clients. And it's not like i'm not getting the job done, i've done what needs to be done and infact have done things over and beyond what is expected of me. Even talking to the employees of the company that has the contract with the company I work for, have even mentioned that I've worked over their expectations compared to the other employees they've received from my company.

Sorry if it feels like i'm ranting too much just been pissing me off recently and wanted to know may options
