[QUOTE="soberups, post: 780869, member: 14668"] Actions speak louder than words. We get that same line of B.S. from our management team also. They tell us to "take and record your lunch" and then [B]intentionally[/B] dispatch the routes with a workload...justified by a rigged time allowance....that makes taking that lunch impossible. What really gets to me is when they say "the contract requires you to take a lunch" when they have made a business decision to [B]refuse to honor[/B] Art. 37 of that [I]same contract[/I]. My center no longer honors 8 hr requests and makes no attempt whatsoever to reduce excessive overtime. 11, 12 and even 13 hour days are the norm, with numerous drivers running out of DOT hours every week. But when a guy with a 13 hr day and a family to get home to skips his lunch and puts no lunch in the board, they are all over his ass for "violating the contract". The company [I]could care[/I] less whether or not a driver gets to take a lunch break, as long as one is recorded in the DIAD so that they can screw him out of an hour's pay. It is a calculated part of the business plan. [/QUOTE]
