[QUOTE="soberups, post: 607234, member: 14668"] I have always been a believer in Occam's Razor---which is a scientific principle that states that, all things being equal, the [I]simple [/I]solution tends to be the most accurate one. Drivers being pushed to work thru lunch due to bad allowances is an endemic part of the UPS reality nationwide. It isnt isolated. You deny that there is some sort of conspiracy. So is it just a coincidence that so many routes consistently run overallowed no matter who runs them...and that they are, conveniently, "overallowed" by almost the exact amount of time that we are supposed to clock off for our lunches and breaks? I guess it [I]could[/I] all be an amazing coincidence. I suppose it [I]is [/I]possible that the fact so many routes just magically seem to run around an hour overallowed is due to some strange twist of fate. I suppose it could also be an amazing coincidence that there arent any routes that dont run an hour or more [I]underallowed [/I]without the driver resorting to unsafe or improper methods. For me, however, the [I]simple[/I] answer makes the most sense. IE isnt stupid. They know damn good and well how long every aspect of our jobs should take. They have performed exhaustive measurments of every single thing relating to job performance. They also know damn good and well how many millions of dollars a year can be saved if a given percentage of drivers can be coerced, manipulated or harassed into working off of the clock. I dont believe in coincidences. The [I]simple[/I] answer...is that the system is working [I]exactly[/I] the way IE wants it to. [/QUOTE]
