[QUOTE="Blueskin75, post: 595538, member: 21487"] Our contract says we are "entitled" to a hour lunch, and two 15 minute breaks. The lunch should be between 4th and 6th hours. The first break should be sometime before the lunch, and the second break should be sometime after the lunch. We can ASK for a 30 minute lunch, and there is no limit to the amount of 30 minute lunches. So for us, the norm is the 60 minute lunch, and the 30 minute lunch is the exception. Most drivers at my center take 30 minute lunches. A few of us take 60 minute lunches. I started taking 30 minute lunches and they added more work that was not on my bid route, seeing I had all this "extra time" to get it done. So, I warned them, do not add **** that is not mine on my route. No change. So they added the stops again, this is after a week of arguing. I take a big 'ol lunch!! I deliver 50 business stops in 4 hours after leaving the building at noon (extended Center). Pull over, take a 15 minute break, 60 minute lunch. Miss a whole bunch of stops. Had a meeting the next day, showed them the contract and how wrong they were to ASSUME I would ALWAYS take a 30 min. lunch, and to ASSUME I would take a 60 min lunch, UNLESS I ask them to take a 30 min. lunch....problem solved!!! Know your contract!! Do not rely upon your "STEWARTS", they are the ones taking their 30 min lunches at the end of the day in the break room!! [/QUOTE]
