[QUOTE="soberups, post: 611577, member: 14668"] The problem has never been that we were pressured into skipping our lunches. The problem has been...that we were pressured into skipping our lunches [I]and doing the work off of the clock.[/I] If I have something important going on after work, I will very occasionally skip my lunch. When this occurs, I enter "lunch 1200-1200" in the DIAD. I am not falsifying anything, and I am not working off of the clock. I am being fully compensated for all hours worked. The scam has always been to rig the allowances down to an hour behind reality, use those allowances to dispatch an imposible workload, and then pressure/harrass/threaten the driver into skipping his lunch and doing the work off of the clock in order to make up the time. This is, in a nutshell, UPS's entire business model. The contract requires that we be paid for [B]all hours worked[/B]. Whether or not it is legal or contractually allowed to skip lunch is an entirely [I]seperate[/I] issue. [/QUOTE]
