One hour lunches?

[By The Book]

I take what adds up to a full hour everyday. Monday i was covering a route that had 85 buisness stops (including bulk) and two big apt complexes with an office that closes at 5. So I took it late.

Some days I take it early. Just depends.

There it is, you take your lunch outside the contractual times.....stop doing that. If you need help ask for help. I don't care what they say.

Sometimes I call and they will take a few pick ups but too many on 9.5 to help.

I take my hour every day. My sup knows I do and knows if over dispatched there will be missed packages. So I'm not over dispatched very often on businesses at all which makes my dispatch predictable and less stressful.

Here in Nor Cal per the contract we have to take a hour lunch which many don't like to do. Many have been taking a half hour because our management tells us we need to take a hour but doesn't care when you take it, most take at the end of the day. Per the contract we need to take it between the 4th and 6th hour. I personally like a half hour to get off earlier.
How can they discipline the drivers for taking less than a hour when it's ok for the others that are taking a full hour lunch but not between the 4th and 6th hour per the contract. Our management would have to run more routes if we all took our lunches between the 4th and 6th because all the business wouldn't get delivered. I will continue to take a half hour until they fix or we can take it up at panel!

Take your lunch per the contract. Your don't get to decide which part of the contract you follow. The panel can't change the contract... The out come is that everyone is going to be forced to take there lunch and those that choose not will be disciplined.

So they are telling you that there are too many on the 9.5 list so there's no help? Bout time to get on the 9.5 list. Keep hours for what route you were on and hours worked each day.

I'm in north California, the contract does not mandate an hour long lunch.

Reread your contract....it's in there.

Remind us again how many times you didn't take your full lunch.

california law says we have to take the lunch before the 5th hour but still allows us to take a half hour.

 

[UPSGUY72]

I never didn't follow what I was instructed to do. I also never got a warning letter or was called into the office for anything. It's amazing what happens when you follow instructions and do the job like your suppose to.

The lunch period shall commence not less than four (4) hours after the employee starts work.

But I like to eat breakfast at Starbucks and drink a caramel macchiato!

The sort rider(blue) is for part time employees! Read article 22 section 5 in the supplement(tan section). This is the language for drivers.

All I said was its in there. Now I don't know to what benefit it is for this language to be added into this contract. The language is and has always been in there before( tan section ) that read like the sort rider language you posted earlier.

But he likes Starbucks.

Try ordering a McGriddle after breakfast cut off time.

I never didn't follow what I was instructed to do. I also never got a warning letter or was called into the office for anything. It's amazing what happens when you follow instructions and do the job like your suppose to.

"never didn't" is a double negative.

You're is a contraction of the words "you" and "are".

I know it's difficult.
