Northern New England Pkg Drivers & Feeders...Mandated Lunches??

[UPFNS]

Putting out a litmus test on mandated lunches being crammed down our throats. Would love to hear any/all stories concerning lunches especially ones claiming disciplinary action including any panel stories if they exist. I am hearing rumors and am trying to differentiate between fact and fiction. No lunch taken for years here. Trying to keep it that way. Thanks in Advance.

Take your lunch when contractually obligated. Keep job. End of story.

I can't figure out why people will openly give up the best part of the day. I'd love to be able to escape from UPS everyday for an hour.

Good God another lunch thread!! Use that litmus paper on your bleeding p* and take your damn lunch.

Have a nice day.

Thanks regulars. On a fact finding mission not necessarily interested in opinions and U know what they say about opinions anyway.

Honestly an hour is a bit much and that truck doesn't empty itself any while you're on break.

I take a half hour, that's enough for me.

The only fact that matters are what the words in your locals contract book say

 

[UPFNS]

Agreed Slave. I would be fine with a 1/2 hour too if everyone was on board.

To be completely honest. They started forcing mandatory lunches here about 4 months ago. We have had plenty of people written up for it. We only get a 30 min lunch though.

 

[UPFNS]

It says I'm allowed to not required to.

Sounds fair to me 542. Any disciplinary action beyond the warning letters.

No only because our shop stewards told everyone that the company is requiring you to take a lunch. Our BA also alerted everyone to the fact that the company is within there rights to do so. The contract doesn't say they can't. It's pretty much just guarantees you a lunch if they ever say you can't take one.

Take your lunch!

Ha ha Upstate! Save your breath I know where U stand. This might be my 1st post but I've been lurking for awhile.

I take my full lunch every day.

Side question: If U were not pressured to take a lunch would U?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I take my full lunch every day.

At the proper time?

 

[UPFNS]

I know U do!
