[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 706140, member: 4653"] Thats just wonderful for you Treegrower, because I don't have time in my life for my full hour lunch and two ten minute breaks. Yes, I have to take them or lose out on about $65/day, but I certainly DON'T "have time for them". Do you? Our lives are consumed enough by the work we do at UPS. I can't understand the mentality that you are happier than a pig in ssss to sit for almost 1.5 hours doing absolutely nothing. Why do you let the company or the teamsters pull the whool over your eyes? Its 7 hours a week of your life times 52 weeks that UPS takes from you every year. I hope you are very proud that you take this time doing nothing except sticking your finger at UPS, because while you are doing this they have their own finger exactly where you don't like it. Go ahead and tell yourself you are "doing the right thing" by taking your hour and twenty, because thats exactly what UPS wants. An hour and twenty just so the company doesn't have to pay OT for the last hour of your pick-ups? An hour and twenty so the company can gain that much in free labor from the lunch-runners. Maybe the lunch-runners have something here. 7 hours a week is a ton of time to spend away from your toddler. Its precious time that can never be regained. Yet you and UPS will make you sit in an empty parking lot for an hour at the end of the night doing absolutely nothing just to get what is justly coming to you. This happens while Jr. is tucked into bed by a lonely wife. Just gives us a 30 minute lunch and leave it at that like the rest of the blue-collar world. Why insist on the 1.33 hours of break? The company has telematics to prove where we are at every minute. Why not let us take the breaks we want to and dock us for it? I'm sorry 7 hours/week multiplied by 52 is too many hours to be away from my family unnecessarily. I just want to get home to them and may believe that $45/hour is worth giving up to see them? UPS is betting on this fact also, and it makes me sick! [/QUOTE]
