[QUOTE="soberups, post: 393844, member: 14668"] The [U]intent[/U] of the contract language...is to ensure that the company does not overdispatch a route with business stops and force the driver to take lunch at the end of the day to make service on the packages. The actual language says that the driver shall be "afforded the opportunity" to take his lunch between the 3rd and 5th hour. I interpret that to mean that the driver has the [U]right[/U] to do so, not the obligation. The contract also states that employees shall be paid for [U]all[/U] hours worked. If I am done with my business stops by noon...it makes no difference whether I eat lunch then, or do all of my resi deliveries and pickups first and have lunch at the end of the day. Same miles...same level of service...same number of hours. I prefer to eat at noon, but sometimes I might have an appoinment or kids school function to attend, and taking lunch at the end of the day just works out better for me. Its my choice. [/QUOTE]
