[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 670255, member: 10234"] I'm always baffled by this. Those who won't take a lunch break and those who say they can't. In my mind, it is a safety/health issue. I always wonder if these same drivers who skip their lunch would do so if they worked in a factory or elsewhere. Very doubtful. Having said that....I see no reason for it to be any different as a UPS driver. What would happen if the company attempted to take the lunch break away in the next contract? I'm guessing that those same drivers who complain about being forced to take a lunch would be the most vocal in trying to retain it. Taking your lunch first thing in the morning or the last thing in the evening defeats the purpose of the break. Not to mention it is in violation of the contract. I guess that every 6 months we will have the same conversation. A lot of you just don't get it. It's very simple.....take your lunch break or be in violation of the contract (if not state law).
