[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 332179, member: 4653"] New Englander, I understand where you are coming from. The company REQUIRES us to take an hour lunch here in New England. The contract also states that it will be taken between the 4th and 6th hour and its to be [B]uninterupted.[/B] Well, since the lawsuit we now have two spaces in the DIAD to put lunch time in, presumably so if you can't finish deliveries before pick-ups you can finish you lunch at the end and enter that time in the "2nd lunch" area. Here is where I'm with you NE, the company can't have its cake and eat it too. They either have to set up the routes to allow for 1 hour uninterupted or pay us for the portion of lunch that we didn't take. What other friggin company in the [B]entire world [/B]asks their employees to split their lunch break? Seriously, what is this nonsense? We are expected to sit in a dark, cold parking lot at 7 pm to finish our lunch break???? Good grief! If we want to be paid what is owed to us, I guess we must do it. I do think its ridiculous. This is why I have great respect for the drivers on 100% commercial routes that stop exactly 1 hour prior to pick-ups. If they have deliveries left, the call the center informing them what will be missed if help isn't sent. This is the way it should be. Now, New Englander, I want an answer to my question. Why is there two spots in the DIAD to enter lunch break? I don't know about you, but I don't know anybody who eats two lunches. Explain this to anybody in the "real world" and you would get a perplexed look. The company has the technology to know who is cheating them. Pay us for what we take and don't make me sit at 7-11 when its -10 degrees at the end of the night. [/QUOTE]
