[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 565927, member: 9789"] I know of areas (centers) that follow the contract so closely, the drivers do not talk to a management person until they are on the clock. To me, that is taking it to the ridiculous stage. [B]However, that being said nobody should work off the clock. Nobody should look the other way.[/B] [COLOR=Red]BUT - Those of you who think that you will add drivers once the problem is fixed are sadly mistaken[/COLOR]. Let's say that 20 drivers (in one center) start taking a 1/2 hour lunch that they were giving away prior. Well some of you think that creates another driver because 10 hours of work now has to be accounted for. THINK AGAIN! - All that is going to happen is the drivers are going to work longer hours. The center paid day will go up and the SPORH will probably go down and the drivers will get 1/2 hour more in overtime. BUT no additional job will be created because of the 10 extra hours. [B] For the Teamsters who follow the contract - your biggest challenge is with the drivers who could care less about making more money.[/B] It is more important to for them to get home earlier. The other problem for the Teamsters is ... How are you going to police the driver who is not taking a lunch? Remember - there will always be those Teamsters who could care less about the contract. This is very similar to that email that goes around every time gas prices go up and it tells you to boycott one particular company and that company will be forced to drop gas prices because the inventory of gas will go up. As the price starts to drop someone will break the chain and buy the gas! [/QUOTE]
