[QUOTE="Article 3, post: 3176866"] The "reality of the situation" is that you're screwing your coworkers. Have the spine to take at least your lunch as mandated in the contract THAT COMPENSATES YOU and let the company deal with missed businesses. Trust me, after a day or two they will either put in another route or put the compromised area on another route. I bid a route that delivered up to 500 pcs a day and had 30 pickups. It took a tp60 out every day.... until I bid it and took a ten minute break after my 10:30 airs were done, my lunch between the 3rd and 6th hr as mandated in our CBA, and my last break right before pickups started. After holding tight to my schedule thru a bunch of management grumbling for two weeks of this the trailer disappeared and so did almost half my delivery pcs. When you figure out that the company can't discipline you for working according to the CBA your life will get a lot easier, the customers often get better service when another route gets added, and your spine will be stronger for the next round. (There's always the next round.) [/QUOTE]
