Up in our area, ENE, we are required to take an hour lunch. I personally would love to take 1/2 hr. and maybe get home a little earlier. I know...enter laugh track here...but it would be nice to have a choice.
Again ...sorry.....is it bad that I like that kind of soda ?This is what comes to my mind of a shop Stewart
NO that stuff is nastyhaha you dont drink moxie too do you??
I liked back in the day when you could get a "paid lunch" stop for 20 and get paid for your lunch....get out early....ahhh..the good old daysi agree....also in ENE district...i would much rather take a half hour.takes me 15 minutes to eat, then i get bored, and end up sleeping on my 6000 section for a half hour. People get pissed when i say this because they claim i would be working for free if i only took a half hour lunch, but if i only enter in a half hour in the diad for lunch then my work hour numbers will still be accurate. Contract states that all employees must be paid for time worked.....For a while i would only take a half hour lunch and only enter in a half hour. eventually my supervisor told me management told him i need to be entering in a full hour, whether or not i took that full hourt. I told him "so if i want to get out earlier you want me to work for free, that", and he told me he was just relaying what he was told
haha you dont drink moxie too do you??
Our Boards just say do you want to start your meal period. you say yes then it count's down from 30 mins. after that it says your meal period is over and then you can press end to put current time in and go on your day or keep taking a lunch for what ever time you want then press end lunch. See the wierdness is a center that is only 15 miles away, there boards count's down an hour.
I hate one hour forced lunches. Production is never the same rate of speed as before lunch, back is tight after sitting for an hour, it's nap time after eating lunch, and I still have business to deliver. Please let me have 1/2 hour instead.
We have been told that we MUST enter a one hour period in our board for lunch. During that time we cannot do ANY work. I take my full hour every day at my house on my couch from roughly noon to 1. I've gotten a warning letter for only taking 50 minutes. That'll never happen again.
And in Norcal we can only transfer within the district, nowhere else. Bummer, I would love the opportunity to just think about transferring to Hawai'i or New Mexico.
East Bay drivers have transfered to Sac Valley recently. I thought you could transfer within the Region?
In NNE you are applauded for working during your lunch. They will even ask if you would like to be a supervisor.
That's not sarcasm...only the truth.

Hour lunches suck!
And we get two 15 minute breaks with an added 10 minute one after 10 long hours on the road. I would have to hazard a guess by other postings that the Norcal contract is one of the most generous despite a weak Union everywhere but Oakland. Go figure.
Is it once you cross into Nevada you follow Nevada labor laws or do you follow the contract of your building of origin?How come feeder drivers only have to take 30 minutes?
In NV we can take it at anytime. I'm surprised that we don't have to take it within the 4-6 hr like you do . if we had to , a lot of trailers would miss service in the winter.
