[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 670021, member: 4653"] In the local I work, we are given 2 10 minute breaks, both paid. One is to be taken in the AM (I'm not sure between which hours but it is specified) and one in the PM. They also want us to take an hour lunch. Until the lawsuit, this time was automatically deducted from our days pay. I'm sure UPS made out like bandits with many lunch-runners. The problem of the driver being an hour-over disappears if he runs his lunch. Now, if we can't get the full hour in between deliveries and pick-ups we must get authorization from the center to not take the full hour. Why is this the case? The only logical explination is UPS wants to take advantage of the lunch-runners. If this is not the reason, please explain to me the logic behind a forced hour lunch. In our center we have telematics. UPS know where we are and what we are doing at every second. There is no cheating them today. In my center we send out many routes that are strictly house calls with a business here and there. No pick-ups. Why force that driver to take an hour lunch and 2 10 minute breaks. I look at these routes and ask why? Let me use the 2 10's to eat and get home an hour earlier. Why make us sit for an hour for no reason? If we need to take more to grab something, we just code it off, no? UPS know where we are at ALL TIMES! I understand the forced hour for industrial routes that need to make late pick-ups, but why house-call routes? I'm just looking for a straight answer as to why a house call route must take his/her 1.3333 hours of time. My logical explination is UPS hoping for free labor. Anyone? Bueler? [/QUOTE]
