[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1513496, member: 14668"] Mandatory hour lunches are like Viagra for management. It is a simple fact that if they require us to enter an hour lunch, a significant percentage of the workforce will simply skip all or part of that lunch in order to (a) avoid service failures and (b) get home to their families before 10:30 every night. A certain percentage of skipped lunches are already built in to each centers daily dispatch plan. New drivers who cannot file 9.5 grievances for 4 years are especially vulnerable to this sort of pressure. Management isnt stupid. Every action they take regarding dispatch and lunch rules is carefully and methodically calculated to cut routes by maximzing the number of skipped lunches. Regardless of whatever rules exist regarding lunch, the contract clearly states we are to be paid for all hours worked. It should be up to us to decide if we want to take a half or full lunch, and the shop stewards energies should be focused on making sure that employees are paid for all hours worked instead of worrying about how long of a lunch they entered.
