[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 321189, member: 13254"] Someone asked in an earlier post why anyone would work for free during their lunch time and it is a valid question. Here is one possible answer. If you are in a bonus center and you can get an hours bonus time by working through your meal time then you are not working for free. The hour bonus would offset the hour you lost during lunch. I'm not advising that anyone do this, but it is how I have heard many drivers justify skipping lunch. However this does open the window to many other issues that I'm not going to rehash in this post. Someone else earlier stated that if EVERYONE would take their meal time as described in the contract that eventually the company would be forced to adjust the dispatches accordingly, and he is right. As far a the scrutiny that you will have to face for a while may be intense, as long as you are honest, use proper work methods and follow the trace in EDD you are covered. In many situations UPS management tries to put the monkey on the drivers backs to fix the problems with the system, that folks is NOT our responsibility. [/QUOTE]
