Hypothetical question

I'm in a difficult situation in Virginia and trying to figure out my next steps smh.

forced to work through lunch breaks. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Has anyone mentioned the WARN Act? If there were 100+ employees and they didn't give 60 days notice, that's a separate federal claim worth pursuing.
