[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 273601, member: 5938"] Here in my state there is a law stating employees must take a break if they work five hours or more. I've had jobs (not UPS) where they made us take that lunch even if we only worked five or six hours and it had to be documented. Of course, UPS thinks it is an entire world of it's own and can do whatever is necessary to make those numbers. They don't care whether or not you work through that break or sit in a very dangerous part of town, trying to scarf your lunch while watching like a hawk to make sure you're not messed with. Is there any safe business stop on your area that would allow you to come in and have your lunch or would that be too uncomfortable? Would management be able to find you a decent place for a nice break? Yeah, right. I know. I'd hate to see you fired for entering your break when you didn't take it but can't the boobs see on the diad that you made stops during that time? You'd be covering their butts by showing that you took the break while getting your work done in a more timely manner. The stress of working so long without a break would be doing them a favor, wouldn't it? I'm not a driver and may be talking out my rear but have been with UPS long enough they can make a mountain out of a tiny mole hill. Any agreement from management as far as your lunch time should be documented and punched into the time clock for your own protection. They can observe you taking your lunch late but why can't they observe you during the day while you're NOT taking your lunch. They don't want to leave their warm offices to watch. So there. Bid off that Godforsaken route at first opportunity. dw [/QUOTE]
