Legal Question in Employment Law in California

meal breaks

I worked for a company here in San Diego,California, as an hourly employee working as a skycap for Delta Airlines. I have been with the company for the last 5 years. My question is : We used a timecard and a bundy clock to clock in and out of our work, we worked a total of 9 hours per day but we only get paid for 8 hours. They said that the 1 hour is our lunch break but we never get to do lunch because of the amount of work and they never acknowledge that part. Also, there is no paperwork that shows that we took lunch on our shift. We also does not get paid if we fail to clock out of our shift but we clock in for that day. They also deduct hour/s from our time if we are only a couple of minutes late. I believed that you have a 7 minutes grace period before and after the hour of your shift start time.
