I think most of us are for that but currently the contract states that we are required to take lunch. End of story.
End of story? Thats my point. It is in the contract, I'm all for that. I'm not for having it enforced on me and not fellow drivers.
My point is that while it's in the contract it's also in the contract as to when we are supposed to take lunch. Can you enforce part of it but not all of it?
The company in our area enforces us to take our lunches now, but is perfectly happy when people take it at the end of the day. You know get back to the center then hang around for an hour before they go home.
To me....that's not a lunch, that is UPS turning their cheek to the problem of incorrectly written routes or dispatches. We all know what would happen if the lunch was taken in the middle of those days.
Those drivers don't seem to really care and have the mind set of "I don't like to stop working".
Me...I personally believe that if they are not going to fully enforce the lunch, they shouldn't enforce any of it.
