[QUOTE="959Nanook, post: 312216, member: 14462"] Ummmm.... I don't think the lawsuit was because drivers were forgetting to punch lunch into DIADs. The documents from the lawsuit assert otherwise. One of the accusations was that UPS was "[FONT=Times][SIZE=3][FONT=Times]taking a standard lunch deduction regardless of the actual lunch period recorded by drivers" [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]in violation of California Labor Codes. Unfortunately, UPS wouldn't be the first and certainly won't be the last organization, corporate or otherwise, to err on the extreme in response to legal troubles. Certainly, UPS has an understandable position that lunches that are taken need to be recorded for employees who are not compensated for lunch periods so they know what period of time not to pay an employee. Where the difference lies is that a driver "forgetting" to put lunch into his or her DIAD is not the same as an employer with company policies that systematically violate the law (UPS is not the only employer of Teamsters who has been accused of violating California Labor Codes). It is a matter of intent. [/QUOTE]
