[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 394824, member: 14176"] I find this conversation to be amazing. As it was eluded to in a previous post, the between the 3rd and 6th hour rule was put in place for our benifit. To keep the company from working us into the ground. For 1st shift workers breakfast is in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, and dinner in the evening. Your body needs periodic rest and nourishment. Steward or not take your lunch at lunch time. Use your breaks at the end of the day to rub elbows if you want. Taking undo liberties can be construded as hypocritical. As a steward we are sometimes in the position were we have to tell one of our members the errors of their ways. This will be better received from a steward who leads by example. As for the side bar debate, if everybody took their lunches and breaks during the work day, routes would definately have to be added. With the many varying commit times throughout our days on the delivery and pickup end, in conjunction with the ever later start times, something would have to give. I, I, I. Me, me, me. In a union shop it's about we! [/QUOTE]
