[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 281624, member: 4653"] The entire lunch subject has been a shady "racket" practiced by the company for a long time now. Why else would they automatically dock us an hour every day? They do it because they know many drivers will work through their lunch for various reasons. Can you imagine the free labor UPS has recieved from drivers over the years skipping lunch? Its at least tens of millions of dollars, if not hundreds or maybe more! The reasons run the gammet from drivers doing it everyday to the driver that does it occasionally to make to a dentist appointment a 7:00 PM:anxious: I think its a ridiculous concept. If you don't want to take it, you shouldn't be forced to. And if you chose not to take it, you should be paid for your hours worked. Here in Boston we get 1 hour docked for lunch and 2 10 minute paid breaks. This is just way too much time in my opinion. We work 9 hours everyday, why do we have to be forced to spend another hour with the company and not get paid? Cement says he gets out of his truck for an hour to eat and read the paper and then takes a 10 minute break because its "my time and I'm entitled to it" Sorry Cement, I can think of better things to do with my time then sit in a parking lot when it 20 degrees out reading the paper. So its not "our time", its really the company's. Yes, under the current rules I must do this now. The average high temperature in January here is around 35 degrees. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be sitting around eating and reading the paper for an hour in those conditions. Why would you? We should be allowed to take what we want for lunch. The time each individual driver takes should be deducted from his pay. I want an anwser. Why doesent UPS do this? Our hours are long enough, why does UPS force us to add 1:20 on top of the already long day? [/QUOTE]
