[QUOTE="soberups, post: 3935539, member: 14668"] No one is listening to the OP. He isn’t talking about skipping lunch. He isn’t talking about working off of the clock. What he is talking about...is taking a 30 minute lunch and putting that on his timecard in order to get home half an hour earlier. I do that all the time. Its not dishonest and its not costing anyone a job. Ask yourself this; do you [I]seriously[/I] believe that the company is forcing hour lunches because they care about us and want us to get enough rest? If you do, you are an idiot. The company forces hour lunches because they are counting on the fact that a certain percentage of drivers will simply cave in and work through part of their lunch in order to get home to their families at a reasonable time. Its a scam, designed to maximize the amount of free labor they can screw us out of. The contract states that we are to be paid for all hours worked. So if I want to take a 30 minute lunch and I put that on my timecard, they should not have the right to discipline me or to withold an hour of my pay. I’m glad I work in a local that prevents them from doing that. [/QUOTE]
