[QUOTE="soberups, post: 816303, member: 14668"] Time is money. We work for a company that made a calculated business decision that our lives and our health were not worth the expense of equipping the vehicles with 3 pt seat belts or power steering. Is it logical to assume that that [I]same[/I] company would then turn around and create time standards that were fair and realistic enough to allow its employees to take their lunches and breaks? The arithmetic is simple. 9 drivers who skip lunch=one less route dispatched=one less vehicle on the road=one less employee on the payroll=one less benefit package to pay for. We are talking about many [I]tens of millions of dollars per year[/I] nationwide that is at stake. The very[I] last[/I] thing that the company wants is for its drivers to be operating under realistic standards. [/QUOTE]
