[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 217669, member: 4653"] Thats awesome 1989, its nice to know you can "fight city hall". We may get paid more than Fed-Ex, but the company, in my (guesstimation) is saving a crapload in labor costs through idiot drivers working through their lunch. And I'm not talking about the occasional lunch skip because you need to make your boy's 7pm 5th grade graduation, although its a free hour of labor that doesn't show on the books. I'm sure Fed-Ex doesn't dock their drivers 1 hour per day. UPS does because they KNOW a large percentage of their workforce will skip at least some (if not all) of their personal time, which equals free labor for the company. We know it and they know it. Problem is, you are not going to convince the lunch runners to stop. So the only solution was a law suit. I think if we choose to skip lunch we should be compensated for it (and it shouldn't have to be cleared through the center manager, they have the technology to know if we're cheating them), like every other company in the free world. UPS: pay us for our time in your employ. You promote giving back to the community through the United Way, but you look like the devil when you take advantage of your own employees because you know a good percentage will work for free.
