My SO is supposed to get a 60 minute lunch (30 paid/30 unpaid).

He has 2 supervisors. One constantly schedules meetings at 12 and the other at 1. Neither ever checks if it's convenient, they just put it on his calendar. And neither ever checks if that means he won't get his lunch break. He's constantly taking 20 minutes here and 20 minutes there and having to come back early. I don't think he gets his full 60 minute break more than once a week.

? Why doesn’t he just block out an hour in his schedule everyday.. mark it something like “lunch”.

I have a 30 min lunch that I schedule so that people don't schedule me during my lunch break.

They aren't allowed to block out their lunch because they need to be flexible. Plus they have both scheduled him for things when he was already scheduled for something else by the other supervisor. No care is given.

But he likes the job and bosses otherwise so he doesn't want to make it a thing.

Then he should jokingly bring it up in the meeting that is scheduled second. Also, power move says bring lunch into the noon meeting and just eat while others are not.
