[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 181015, member: 9310"] No. If I were getting any money in this lawsuit I could perfectly well justify it because UPS management has successfully stolen from ME. But I actually consider that analysis of the situation irrelevant. I do my job well because I take pride in doing things well. Management is mostly an obstacle to be overcome in order to do my job well. And as far as money is concerned, we are in a state of nature, fighting over the money the soulless machine throws off. Management does its best to exploit me and I do my best to exploit the company in return and that's the rules of the game they taught me. In any case, you don't seem to have taken in what I said about the regulation of the transportation industry in California. Employees are allowed to agree to not take meal breaks only in limited circumstances. It is public policy that if the company fails to REQUIRE its employees to take the required breaks the company should be FINED one hours pay, payable to the employee, for each instance. UPS is settling part of its obligation to pay these fines at the discounted price of $87M, and that $87M is unaffected by how many employees sign up. By taking the money you are not alleging that the company damaged you -- the class action is here a mechanism for enforcing public policy, not compensating for damage -- and your not taking it saves the company no money.
