Even if you are not a 9.5 driver?
What is a 9.5 driver?
a full time driver is a full time driver. The center I work in doesn't care when we take lunch. Yes, we're SUPPOSED to take lunch between the 4th and 6th hour, but its never enforced.

9.5 grievance . That you can only work 2 days out of the week over 9.5 hours.

We take a 50min lunch and we have to take a 10min paid break. I like to take mine at the end of my day just before my P/U.

We were told that if you are a 9.5 driver you have to take it between 3 and 6 hour.

Why???
When do you eat dinner then?
I've heard all of the reasons dozens of times, but what the hell, maybe if you read it back to yourself you'll see...

in NY you must either:
take a 20 minute break between 10:30 and 12pm and the remaining 40 minutes in 1 shot between 12 & 3pm
or
take your full hour between 12 and 3pm.
NO EXCEPTIONS
.
Now my problem is when your working until 9pm you are no longer allowed to take your 15 min break later in the day as opposed to being paid the 15 minute time bonus!
.
I prefer to have the option to grab a slice or something quick rather that punching out between 8 and 10pm commuting an hour and eating cold leftovers at home between 9 and 11pm

I think what the OP is saying is that drivers not on the 9.5 list have the flexibility to take lunch whenever they want, while drivers on the 9.5 list are harrassed.
I believe fair and equal treatment applies here, so as long as other drivers are violating the contract then everyone must be disciplined equally.

Forced? Let me get this straight, you are complaining about fitting a meal period in a 3 hour gap? Do you really need more time to figure out when to pull over, eat and rest? I just don't get it. Union members should be forced to see how and why these laws are in place today so they are not taken for granted........ Please make time for yourself bro!

No It's not green grocer!
Everyone must take it between the 3rd and 5th.

I am not a 9.5 driver and I am not complaining trying to fit it in. I don't want to take it between the 3 and6 . I want to take it at the end of the day.
