[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 298032, member: 4653"] At 42.21 per hour of overtime multiplied by 2 would be 84.42 per day or 422.10 per week that the company claims you are "stealing" from them. Sounds like the easiest way to rip someone off. Heck, there is no threat of going to jail, and it can be done week after week, year after year, and there is nothing the company can do about it. My opinion is the company shouldn't complain. I say this because, in general, UPS has the best (and most efficent) workforce of drivers. If there is 80,000 drivers in the US and you fired them all and replaced them with the next best 80,000 workers, the production would drop off dramatically. Its not OK us for to milk the clock labeling us theives, yet its OK for UPS to steal an hour per day from the significant percentage of drivers that skip their lunch without being paid for the hour. UPS understands that its just human nature to just want to get home to your family. UPS preys on these people that can't sit there for 1 entire hour without doing anything, day after day, week after week, year after year. If they didn't anticipate this free labor they wouldn't implement the forced 1 hour lunch period. But the company is totally innocent. The company lost a lawsuit recently for forcing driviers to work through their lunch period. So now, by law they can only dock you the amount of time you put in the DIAD. Yet we are still required to take (or just put in 1 hour) of lunch period per day unless we get approval from the center manager. Why do you think this is? Its this way because despite the lawsuit, the center manager still wants the free labor factored into his numbers that he was enjoying for so long prior to this year. If this wasn't the case, why wouldn't he just let us take what we need and dock us for that? Why is it so important for him to make sure that we take 1 full hour of lunch? I'll tell you why. He know a signifigant % of his drivers won't take the hour yet will record that he did take the hour just so he can get out an hour earlier to see his kids T-ball game, thus resulting an hour of free labor. Sounds like a good racket to me:angry: [/QUOTE]
