    My guess is they probably previously had 1 or 2 15-minute paid breaks, and a 30-minute unpaid lunch break. But now they only get the unpaid break.

      Bingo. Lots of states have an optional set of 15 minute breaks that are in my state often referred to as smoking breaks because the Midwest is still in large part stuck in 1910.
