Here they dont force us to take our lunch, however they do encourage us to take at least 20 mins for our selves. What ever you dont take they pay you for except for a local wide grievance for 10 minute disagreement thet we have thats now in arbitration.

the feeder pull. ( we only have 12 routes out of our center and 1 feeder run that pulls at 7: 30) We are in a very remote area and were not talking about a ton of packages that are being missed but I still hate not making service especially when fed ex ground and air are trying to corral
our buisness. Filing 9 5s' have not done any good either.
None of us want to take that dam lunch hour. 15 minutes is enough!
our center runs 1.5 over every day. dont you just love the new modern day time allocations. The bottom line is I just want to do my job

Sounds like you are ready to put a tie on. Take your hour lunch, file 9 5 grievances consistantly and don't let thier bad planning become your bad day. f
