Lunch in a right to work state

[Anonymous89]

So i just started driving about 2 weeks ago and i have found that i can eat just fine during my breaks and maintain a good pace throughout the day, however managment was telling me that lunch is required but all my fellow drivers are saying otherwise. I had my supervisor approach me saying that she coded me out for a 30 min lunch that i didnt take. My question is do i have to take a lunch and is what my supervisor did illegal since i didnt take one. Right to work states are weird.

You are required to take your uninterrupted meal period per the contract.

But the company is required to pay you for all time worked. Your sup shouldn't have coded you for a lunch you didn't take, but you could be disciplined for not taking a lunch. Bit of a catch 22.

You’ll never make book if you can’t scratch and take an hour lunch.

Some states may still automatically take 30 out of your time for lunch.

The meal break length varies based on supplement but you are correct in that you won't make book unless you can scratch and take your full meal break.

I am in a right to work state, its usually a sandwich. Except Fridays when I celebrate with a Caseys hamburger.

Does right to work give one the right to falsify?

Guys are working through breaks, and coding in that they took them, which is a violation of federal law.

We can't at the end of day. 11:00 through 3:00 only.

Anyway, why are we always adjusting and not the company? If you cannot take lunch, something is very wrong.

Let them start us earlier or take work off.

A class action suit would solve this problem fast. It would be so easy for a computer forensic team armed with a court order to uncover those working while on break.

It's no different for piss breaks. You don't think those in the crystal palace know that drivers are pissing into bottles instead of being able, comfortable with, or encouraged to break route and go to a sanitary place?

They have had suits brought against them for lunch breaks, harassment, and whatever else but that still hasn't solved anything.

In central, it is 11-3 but not enforced other than to say take your break before return to building.

We can split lunch into 4 pieces at any time of day in the board.

No, they don't. That's the easiest grievance in the world to win.


That and you can't qualify during the free period are the two UPS myths that just need to die.
