[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 472879, member: 4653"] Steve, I'm with you 100%. I never stated that I didn't take the hour. I was just pointing out that its a waste of my time and a victory for UPS when another poster replied that it was a hard fought item won by the teamsters. My opinion is nothing was won by the teamsters. UPS management benefits the majority of the time because of the hour lunch. If it wasn't a benefit to UPS then it wouldn't be required to be taken. If UPS didn't benefit, then why would a list be generated everyday of the employees that didn't enter 1 full hour in the DIAD? Its OK for us to work some minutes off the clock, but if we only take 50 minutes for lunch we are scolded because it HAS to be 60 minutes. Why is it 60 minutes? Because it benefits UPS! Can someone please write that they understand where I'm coming from?? If I'm wrong, please write that I'm wrong, but why would we be told to take the 1 hour lunch? Before the CA lawsuit we were docked 1 hour everyday no matter what we put in the DIAD. After UPS lost the case they can't dock the 1 hour of lunch automatically. We are now required to put 1 hour of lunch in the DIAD everyday. They want us to enter the lunch period for 2 reasons. One is to delay OT pay by 1 hour and the second reason is free labor from the drivers that skip lunch. Why would UPS require us to take an hour lunch unless it benefited the company? Why would UPS care if I took 7 minutes or 2 hours? They require the hour because it benefits UPS. Can someone please post how the hour lunch benefits the teamster employee? [/QUOTE]
