You won't actually work an extra hour.
OK, so eight hours are eight hours, except that those eight hours are when businesses are open.

If ups management loves when people work through lunch and the union hates it.......why?

Seriously?
I didn't make the customer wait, but he insisted I finish eating...
still didn't make him wait

I'm just curious what people's opinions are on that

Take your full lunch and break.
warning letters get passed around here a lot for not taking your full meal..
per contract Southern region
The employee shall be entitled to and required to take a meal period of 1 hour. Failure to take and properly record the required meal period may be cause for disciplinary action.

I agree.....I bothers me sometimes because people who work through don't have to break off for savers or comm stops so they get done faster and makes everyone else look like they can't do the job
And if your in a commercial area you are helping eliminate routes

I never have to break off for savers or comm stops.

How do you figure? Either way I have same number of stops and packages to make service on. And since I don't deliver on unpaid time I'm not giving them free labor. How am I taking work away from someone?

And ours is opposite. It gives the driver the RIGHT to take up to one hour unpaid. It does not force the driver to sit for an hour off the clock when he does not wish to.

The one hour that each of the 8 drivers would have sat for lunch is another run.

So the assumption is that sitting off the clock for an hour will magically make an hour of work disappear?
How's that work?

Never said that.
If the 8 drivers all took lunch between the 3rd and 5th hours UPS would be forced to add a run.

And again I ask why? Why does it not simply create a one hour later finish time for said eight drivers?
The only way this is true is if the route is near 100% commercial and pup. Then I get where you could use the take an hour lunch then call for biz help if they dispatch the route to where taking a lunch will cause service failures. But they could simply give you an hour more resis.
I'm sorry I don't think my taking a lunch or not taking a lunch is having an effect on if my center is putting another driver on packet.
Btw I expect a new avatar pic soon. They grow fast! She certainly has the "look how cute I am" smile down pat!
I sandwich the 5 minute lunch in between my 2 10 min paid breaks so I get 25 min.
Mine doesn't center doesn't require you take your full lunch they just require you take a lunch be it 5 min or 60 min your choice. Anyways I don't work any time I'm on lunch. If I'm working I 'm getting paid.

Take every lazy way out you can, work slower, pad miles, pad signatures....blah blah blah. The enhancements your employer has paid billions for are geared toward correcting THAT and eliminating the union... Every driver could work till max dot , they wont add routes, just pay grievance money. the writings on the wall..200 stops off season...BUHAHAHA
