[QUOTE="oakland, post: 115716, member: 1348"] The California lawsuit originated in our building. Many things have changed for the better because of it. Everyone must take an hour lunch that is recorded in the diad between the 4th and 6th hour of work. As the diad board says in bold lettering "NO WORK IS TO BE COMPLETED DURING THIS TIME", you put your starting time at the beginning, the board then shuts down but it will show a clock with the current time and how much time you have left, at the end of the hour the board starts up again and you put your time in and go back to work. It forced the company to reloop many routes to compensate for this. It helps customers when different drivers do the same route but they all have to take a lunch during the same time frame. If more cars need to be on road to make up for the lunch being taken well so be it, they should be on road anyway. I'm pretty sure we are still making money and a rest in the middle of the work day is much needed. We didnt work through our lunch during our time studies and the safety dept. always tells us to take our lunch. We don't have payroll problems over being written out anymore. As long as our benefits are paid based on 8 hours instead of hours worked our cars are going to go out full and we will work lots of O.T. anyway. That is built into the UPS business plan. The lawsuit was started because of the practice of the company taking an hours pay out of your timecard without making sure that a lunch was really taken. That is against the law. How many years has this been going on and how much will this cost UPS? Its like a grievance that never gets paid in full, they will pay some but not all, they win. [/QUOTE]
