Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Child Labor Law

I am 17 years old and I live in NJ. I

work in a restaurant. My shift one

night was from 5-10. I did not get a

break nor did I eat. I was there till

10:30 when I finally got tired and

decided to leave. The manager who

is not the owner or the general

manager said that I am going to be

fired. Would I be able to bring a

wrongful termination suit against

this company?
