[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 472538, member: 4653"] If the 1 hour lunch was a hard fought victory by the teamsters then I don't want them doing me anymore favors. I get 2 10 minute breaks and the "hard fought hour". I don't want the hour! Its an hour stuck in the employ of UPS in which I'm not being paid. I don't understand why people don't realize this. Our day is long enough and you want to fight for an hour included that you are not paid for? why? I'm sorry but UPS won your "hard fought lunch hour" and they are laughing all the way to the bank. The hour lunch allows them the convience of paying you straight time for pickups from 1630-1730 instead of overtime. Why would you want to delay the time your OT starts by 1 hour? Are we really this stupid? UPS also benefits from the 1 hour lunch because of the free labor the obtain from drivers who run their lunch. There are many that could care less about the 5K/year they are giving the company because they value their free time at more that what they are losing. I don't consider the hour lunch a victory by the teamsters if they even fought for it in the first place? Slavery ended during the Lincoln administartion. We are now in the Obama administration, yet UPS is still obtaining labor for free from many employees!!!! I think its the only company in America that can still get away with it legally. [/QUOTE]
