Speaking of Union / Shop Stewards -
In my first 5 of 30 days, I was approached no less than 3 times per day, asking me what violations occurred, such as no lunch (there were more)
Now, going by the book, I should have opened my mouth. On the other hand, I wanted to make no waves when first starting.
If it were not for the benefits (6 kids, an ex and a current wife) I would never have taken the job, and would certainly not have stayed.
No, USNYer, I'm not whining.
I hate that I have to log in an hour lunch and two breaks every day, even though I have never, not once, had the time or ability to take a break or lunch.
You are working for free.
You are working extra hours.
You are the reason they haven't created another full time position.
I'm responsible for all that?

and all you pay is $40 a week?????? you ought to be dancing into work each day.If it were not for the benefits (6 kids, an ex and a current wife) I would never have taken the job, and would certainly not have stayed.

First - thank you. I am grateful for the advice & thoughts.
I get full time driver pay, been trained on and now drive the same route every day, so I assume I am full time, but guess I should really confirm that.
I assume if I bring up that I am still driving Saturdays that they will tell me to stop - so I don't say anything.
Regarding the Lunch & breaks - when out with oncar sup, we took no breaks, took no lunch. I made no waves because, well, I was new at driving, wanted the route. I see it was a mistake not to say anything.
How do/did others handle this? My oncar sups head would simply explode if I stopped for lunch, I believe. And I would go over 9.5 every day.
Man, I really screwed this puppy, didn't I?
Dude (and I hate using that word, but it fits here) after my ex takes her cut, I net $40/week. For 6 days work.
And to add salt to the wound, UPS charges me $8/week to take out the money & send it to her. So UPS charges me 20% of my take-home pay. Makes me want to sh** & cry at the same time.
