[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 683859, member: 927"] Danny, No, that's not what happened. Here is the whole story, and anyone from California can verify what I'm saying. This started with a California law. The law stated that employers had to allow their employees to have a 1 hour UNINTERRUPTED meal period. Lawyers started soliciting employees to sue their employers saying that they were kept from having their rest period uninterrupted. In one suit, the judge ruled that not only must the employer allow for a the meal period, they were responsible to ensure that it was taken. In other words, if an employee chose to work during lunch, the employer was still fined. At that time, UPS put in software in the DIAD that if enabled would lock out any work being done. The case had nothing to do with suing for back pay.... Nothing to do with UPS trying to get back at anyone. It was a reaction to a California ruling. Do a search for California Rest Period. BTW, I think that since then the rulings have been a little relaxed. P-Man [/QUOTE]
