[QUOTE="Zenkenite, post: 1470412, member: 53242"] yeah I get that I can go sit in the break room, but that isn't much better in my opinion. And where we are, is in the middle of nowhere. You are lucky to find a place to go that is open before 6am. And to start my car up, drive somewhere and back, wastes my fuel and costs me money. I don't want to go somewhere to buy a donut or a coffee I don't want or need. Also, the state I am in has no laws requiring breaks unless you are a minor. And I did have the thought that it is a way to get around paying us OT... we very rarely get any OT at all except for peak season. I'm just frustrated. And want to be working and earning money to pay my bills while I am there. And I have other jobs that I work. I leave UPS and go straight to them (they are flexible with my start time because of UPS). So the later I get there, the less hours there are to work. So this break costs me in more ways than one. It keeps me there later because we don't finish the work as soon as we could. [/QUOTE]
