Massachusetts worker not allowed to take a break

My cousin works at an unnamed underground sandwich artistry shop in Massachusetts. Yesterday he told me everyone in the shop is scheduled for 6 hour solo shifts, so they can't take breaks. In New York I know after 4 hours you're obligated to be given a 15 minute break, and I think 6 hours is the minimum for a half hour. I don't know about Massachusetts but I'd think they'd be obliged to offer at least one 15 minute break? What can he (or I as an anonymous complainer so I don't get him in trouble) do to get this to someone's attention that this store is no doubt breaking labor laws?
