[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 607753, member: 927"] Here is what happened.... First, UPS for many, many years turned a blind eye to drivers working through lunch. This was especially true in bonus centers. I've heard it called "buying back" an employees lunch. Many bonus drivers liked that practice. Then, unrelated to the UPS practice comes California ruliings that employers have to give employees an "uninterrupted" meal and rest period. This had nothing to do with UPS, but lawyers solicited employees from everyplace to file. Early on, some awards were given, stating that not only did employers have to provide a meal and break, they had to monitor and enforce that it was taken. They put the entire burden on the employer at the beginning. UPS then started monitoring meals and breaks, especially in California. Contrary to what has been posted here, management people were fired if employees didn't get their lunch and breaks. The legislation has started spreading. UPS has configurations for appropriate DIAD's where the DIAD will not let them work during the meal period. Its interesting that many employees don't like that. P-Man [/QUOTE]
