[QUOTE="Octave, post: 1976117, member: 61234"] This is a really touchy subject, likely need to check your local union rep/contract. At my hub, we must be given a 15 minute break if we go over 4 hours but that never happens. But we have people who are really comfortable with the union rules take breaks anyway, the sups don't stop them. I actually forget precisely when we're supposed to be given breaks, it's either 15m every 4h, or the same thing but only if we're putting in FT hours. Simple answer is no, preload doesn't get breaks. In the two peaks I've worked we've had four breaks total. And every single one of them was because someone went to the head of the hub and demanded it. They don't like giving us breaks because it means they have to shut down the whole operation, all the way from unload to outbound. [/QUOTE]
