[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 168681, member: 4653"] You need to take your hour lunch. The company is betting on the fact that a certain % will not and that is more money added to their $billion+ bottom line. I think the hour lunch sucks. Who needs an hour to eat lucnh? It takes me about 15 minutes. I don't want to waste anymore time of life with company than I have to. Sitting idlely in a parking lot after I finish eating is a waste of my life. But I have to becuase I will not be exploited by the company to work after I have finished eating. I think this is why they employ this policy. Plus the fact so they can pay us straight time to make PUs at 5 pm. Without the 1 hour lunch all PU after 430PM would be paid at overtime which =$40.71 per hour. The company should do the right thing. Be like every other company we deliver to. Let us punch out for lunch, If we take 25 min. deduct that. If we take 45 min. deduct that. Don't just automatically dock us 1 hour pay per day no-matter what. How ethical is this? The only reason UPS operates this way is because they know they can obtain free labor this way because of drivers working through their lunch. Sorry for the long post, but please-from the people who disagree with me-why can't we clock out for lunch for whatever it takes, and not 1 full hour? [/QUOTE]
