[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1061907, member: 43436"] Only eight states have requirements regulating rest periods, and only half of those could apply to UPS (most specifically exclude companies with CBA or seasonal work). Midweek, in which most Preloaders worked 7.5 to 9 hours, our manager called break exactly one hour into the sort (and would've done so earlier, but the contract prohibits him from doing so) so that he could shuffle the line-up. Well, the unloaders -- most of whom are use to working fewer than 3.5 hours each day -- became gassed out toward the end of the sort, and thus a decision was made to postpone the unloading of some late trailers until the following day (otherwise the drivers would leave too late, on a day in which most would be working 10-12 hours as it was). The next day our manager lectured us on our lack of intensity, how we blew our numbers, and warned us to step it up... I can't blame the guy for the break policy, but I felt he should've taken responsibility for two consecutive early breaks. [/QUOTE]
