Forced Lunch break

[MyTripisCut]

Then losing $190k isn't a definitive argument.

oh really! They were instructed to take a half hour lunch. So, yes it is.

WDFD we’re talking about UPS go have anal with a doll.

Lmao
Boom!!!

He asked what world or job. I presume he didn't mean what job at UPS.

Right, because a website called BrownCafe is mainly for plumbers….

But you just agreed that not all locations deduct lunch that isn't coded. Therefore at those locations you don't lose any money by not taking lunch.

That's our dilemma. Our lunch is not coded out so no one is working for free. His point is that he is being forced to work longer but not being compensated for his forced time that he would rather not spend at work.

Right. But you get a warning letter for not taking lunch. Which is mentioned in the NMA and every supplement. Please stick to wrenches and pipes Mario.

You’re also not a UPS driver so don’t add to a conversation you dont know squat about.

That's still not money lost.

What are your state laws concerning the matter? Mine requires a half hour lunch being taken between the 3rd and 6th hour, and it's not required to be paid. Any violation of break and lunch rules can result in a $1000 fine for the company. UPS could be on the hook for millions just for my center for not enforcing it.

I did it long enough to be knowledgeable of the subject at hand.

I'm not sure. It hasn't been a issue today until it was brought up at our PCM

You're fiesty one tonight! Lol

No, it is NOT a contractual requirement. And if you’re in a building that doesn’t take out lunch unless it’s coded, why should we sit out there for an extra hour if we don’t want to.

I thought it said everyone is required to take lunch in the contract

It's in the 340 methods. Do you not have to grab the handrail or leave a info notice because it's not in the contract?

It's required in the central.

It’s state law in some states. Ups has paid millions for teamsters not taking lunch.

 

[JL 0513]

I don't see how you should be compensated for taking lunch.

While it's rare these days, some jobs do provide paid lunch for hourlies.

It's in our local language, which is dumb because we already have the state law. Talk about handing over bargaining position for nothing.
