Should an employer be allowed to terminate an employee for working during her lunch break even though the employer mandated that she take a lunch break

Question 1:

Should an employer be allowed to terminate an employee for working during her lunch break even though the employer mandated that she take a lunch break?

In 2000, Ford motor company spun off a subsidiary named Visteon, as well as several employees that went to work with Visteon. Visteon transferred some facilities, as well as these same employees, back to Ford in 2006. The employees were classified as re-hired rather than reinstated. When these employees were later provided with severance pay pursuant to a reduction in force in 2008, did Ford violate ERISA by classifying the employees as rehired rather than reinstated?

chapter one Introduction A ‘‘Largely Ignored Paradox’’ The u.s. supreme court has famously labeled copyright ‘‘the engine of free expression.’’1 Copyright law, the Court tells us, provides a vital economic incentive for the creation and distribution of much of the literature, commentary, music, art, and film that makes up our public discourse. Yet copyright also burdens speech. We often copy or build upon another’s words, images, or music to convey our own ideas effectively.
