[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 456706, member: 7328"] You know, worthless driver's comment about them wanting your lunch hour got me thinking. Since the lawsuit in CA, making sure you record your full lunch has been top priority. Of course, they never tell you to take your lunch, only to record it. The past two workdays, we have gotten a broadcast message to record our lunch by 3pm. In fact, one message stated for us to stop what we were doing and record our lunch immediately. This is exactly how they will increase production. Forcing drivers to enter their lunch by a specific time whether we take it by then or not will have some drivers recording their lunch without taking it. Of course it's in the union contract that we have to start our lunch by a certain time (I think it's by the end of the 5th hour) but locally they have never enforced that. I guess they are enforcing it to entice some drivers to blow off their lunch to ensure they service their customers. Add all of the usually tightening of the rules following peak and this could get pretty ugly nationwide. Just remember. Work as directed, follow all methods and make sure you correctly complete your close out at the end of the day. (removing clerk packages, signing off on call tags, etc.) This is the time of year where they look to thin the herd a bit by eliminating otherwise decent drivers that make a mistake, however small that mistake may be.
