[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 286564, member: 12508"] Didn't UPS lose a very large lawsuit back in the 90's over working through breaks? A lot of the package car drivers I knew were smiling big-time because they'd just received hefty settlement checks. Breaks are mandated by state law, and as far as I know, no company can override such laws. FedEx just settled a case (out of court) in California last year for $31 million over denied breaks and they will probably be sued in other states for the same reason. As it stands now, you can be terminated for NOT taking a break. Management is supposed to check for any activity during breaks and then write you up or fire you for "falsification". Our PowerPads force us to take a real time lunch that is monitored by the device. Does the DIAD have the same capability? [/QUOTE]
