This was mandated in our center 2 or 3 years ago, I can't recall exactly. Everyone had to take at least 30 minutes between 3rd and 6th hour on the clock. Lasted about 3 weeks as the flavor of the month. Then, they decided it wasn't "working out" and they moved on to the next idea. Runner gunners must've complained enough and they put an end to it.

Anyone paid salary gets compensated for lunch. Pretty basic.

You "have" to take lunch because you are instructed to. End of story.

Most of the drivers here take their lunch at the building after they’re done with their route, and the union encourages this. Which I don’t really care for. Part of the problem is they got us dispatched out on routes with so much crap you can’t get your air back in time and they don’t want to send an air meet or help, which puts you in a bad situation. Sorry but the last thing I want to do when I get back at 7 is sit at the facility for a half hour-hour when I want to go home and eat dinner and see my kids before bed,
Take your lunch in the middle of day if you can't get back in time that's not your problem. If you keep doing that they'll never put any extra routes in

It amazes me why people don’t understand this. I drive back to the building and it’s in an industrial area. There are trucks parked along the street and in closed businesses parking lots with people taking their lunch on the side of the road at the end of the day. Then the break room has another group once you get inside. Every day. Company loves it.
It's ridiculous
