[QUOTE="area43, post: 212306, member: 4862"] DS I agree with alot of what you say. Not only is there company pressure but also family pressure on the young guys to skip their lunch at times or all the time. I believe the only way UPS can stop this is to put the soft ware in the board to have it shut down. When a change like this is implemented their will be growing pains. Many of us drivers as well as management get into the same old routine, kinda of like a rut(new software will break that rut). The other point I would like to make is that the driver knows what he is getting into when he starts working for UPS. Long hours especially during the holidays is a killer on the family. If you want to get off early(5pm or less) you might want to go somewhere else. I do not want to sound calious,but thats the basic fact. In the same breath I feel we are adequately compensated for our work. In closing, If a driver chooses to work through his lunch he makes that choice,but I also believe it would be a honorable act for the company to pay him for it(without alot of teeth being pulled,just do it). It would be a interesting study, since the advent of the diad how many lunches had been worked through nationwide. Do you think UPS knows the answer? [/QUOTE]
