[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 912210, member: 12570"] In California the DIADs lock down during lunch, which means no work can be done during that period (1 hour?). In the Upstate NY supplement to the NMA we are required to take our 10 minute paid break between the 1st and 3rd hour and our 45 minute unpaid lunch between the 3rd and 5th hour of on-duty time. The only requirement from local management is that we enter a full lunch and break in our boards. Runner/gunners are known to work through their lunches, which would be easily stopped if management would simply print out their delivery records and see if any work was done while the driver was on "lunch". We have two of these in my center. It would not benefit management to push the "lunch between the 3rd and 5th hours" mandate as it could lead to service failures. I take my lunch and break usually between 3:45/4:30 and 4:50/5:00. At this point my deliveries and first round of pickups are done. I then complete the balance of my pickups before heading back to the center. This works out best for me--I don't care what my cover drivers do just as long as the customers are taken care of. The "Mobil station coffee club" members take their full lunch and break after their routes are finished, usually between 5:30 and 7:30pm. I would personally prefer a 30 minute lunch. The union has done little to enforce the contractual lunch times and are fully aware of the MSCC. [/QUOTE]
