[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 745276, member: 18044"] No one can address every possibility in one post. That's why I used the standard qualifier, "all other things being equal." I realize all other things are not equal, but that would take us off topic. The point to Upstate was it doesn't matter if someone took no lunch, or a short lunch, or a full lunch, the SPORH are the same because all are working the same total paid hours, although the second half of their day starts and ends at different times. Local 710 does it right. The driver should be the one to decide how he spends his non-paid time, and how long he wants to spend eating lunch. I assume some regular drivers take their full lunch, and Babboo25 probably does too from time to time. The Company is well aware that taking a longer lunch extends the return-to-building time, and makes the day even longer because of the factors you mention. This is also true for a driver who has to go to the auto shop for a quick repair or gets hauled into the office for a spanking first thing in the morning. All these factors should have been hashed out over the years. They are nothing new. At least in Local 710 the driver, regular or cover, returning "late" to the building has a perfect excuse, because the diad entries are not falsified. Actually, returning "late" because you took your full lunch is [U]normal[/U]. Anyone who takes a short lunch and returns early is helping themself, and benefiting UPS as a unintended bonus. UPS can't demand it. They can just be grateful whenever it happens. (Though don't hold your breath waiting for them to show it.) [/QUOTE]
