[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 5182082, member: 4992"] It reminds me of the old adage [I]"Be careful of what you wish for.... you might just get it."[/I] I know of a Local in the Central where a pkg driver grieved being forced 30 minutes for lunch, arguing the contract didn't specify the length/duration of the lunch period. The company agreed. They said as long as he took a lunch (even if it was just a minute) they would consider that fulfilling the contractual requirement. I'm sure everyone can imagine what happened next. Yep.... they started cutting routes and loaded everybody up, and the drivers came in at about the same time with having done more work. The driver thought he was so smart.... he had beat the company (and Union). No :censored:.... you just screwed all your fellow Teamsters. [/QUOTE]
