[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1138827, member: 43119"] I forgot to mention something else, which I posted about at the time. A month or so ago, I arrived to a dark building. The power was out for about a half hour. We got our break on-time, and we went down a "normal" time (not normal for the volume that day, but normal as if it was a heavy day). Very similar to the scenario yesterday, except the whole break thing. The only thing that has changed between then and now is management. We have a new building manager, a new preload manager, a new dispatch guy. Hell, even new part time sups, but they don't really play an important roll in anything. What concerned me is... the new management may have been testing the waters, so to speak, to see what kind of reaction this move would produce. If they got away with it one time, they may try it again. Next time it could be- oh, volume is unexpectedly heavy today and we can't afford a break. I hope a big enough stink was made to show that some of us do pay attention to what's going on. This is the first time in my employment here that we did not receive a normal break. I hope it's the last time, or at least for a long time. I still hope that others file a grievance on Monday, as the offer for an extra ten minutes may not have even been extended to them. Anyway, thank you all for your replies. [/QUOTE]
