[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 595231, member: 484"] First off, every area of the USA has different language that deals with their specific area. Your contract might be totally different than ours. So the snide little snippet of "look it up" really shows your lack of understanding when it comes to the over all contract that deals with the company and the employees in your area. Secondly, as has been mentioned, you work in CA. Ca has a lot of different rules than other states. Those rules are actually part of the contract, whether it mentions them specifically or not. The contract can not take away rights that the state provides for, it can only add additional rights to what the state mandates. Your state, because of lawsuits of private individuals (some of which work at UPS) has become very intolerant of companies that violate lunch laws. Not that UPS would ever so such a thing...... So in response, UPS has gotten fined. They are not going to allow themselves to be continually harassed by the state, so they have mandated the lunch period. That is why your areas are where the diads are shut down, proving to the state that you had the down time. To my knowledge, there are very few areas if any, outside of CA, where this takes place. I do find it interesting that a steward would argue the point of not taking lunch...... But then with your post, I can see where you have been misled.... d [/QUOTE]
