[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 716767, member: 12570"] I have a better idea--why don't you do what works for you and I will do what works for me? Does it really make a damn bit of difference when lunch is taken as long as one is taken? I prefer to take my lunch and break together, usually at home, during a break in my pickups. I don't falsify anything. I record the actual times that I start and end my lunch and breaks. There is no work done during those 55 minutes. This simply works best for me. BTW, very few drivers in my center take their lunch during the contractually mandated times; in fact, there is a group of 5-6 that take their "lunch" daily at the gas station/convenience store, usually from 6-6:45 pm. One of my other co-workers, who lives 2 streets away from me, also takes his lunch at home before heading back to the bldg. The point is that, although you are technically correct, we are following the intent, if not the letter, of the contract in that we are all taking our 45 minute unpaid lunch and 10 minute paid break.
