You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I agree. 10 minutes after air is off is as early as I take any break.

Putting out a litmus test on mandated lunches being crammed down our throats. Would love to hear any/all stories concerning lunches especially ones claiming disciplinary action including any panel stories if they exist. I am hearing rumors and am trying to differentiate between fact and fiction. No lunch taken for years here. Trying to keep it that way. Thanks in Advance.
Have you talked to your Local ?
Looking at your supplement, it appears to be a requirement.
"(d) Except for meal time, working time for all employees shall start when they are instructed to report and do report at the Operating Center, Subcenter or Hub and shall continue until relieved from duty at same regardless of occupation. Employees shall be allowed time out for meals which shall be one (1) hour and shall not begin until the employee has worked four (4) hours except for inside employees whose lunch hour may begin after they have worked three and one-half (3 1/2) hours, but must begin before he/she has completed five (5) hours of work. Any employee who is ordered to work during any part of his/her meal period shall be paid for the full meal period and shall be allowed and must take twenty (20) minutes to eat lunch and such time shall be considered as time worked. Any employee who is ordered to work during any part of meal period shall be guaranteed nine (9) hours’ pay for that day."

Hmm, mandated lunch season didn't start until July last year:
Mandated Lunches
Mandated lunch!!!!! Fact finding
Could this be a sign of climate change?

Did you calculate how much money you will lose by running your lunch?
I'm not pressured to take a lunch, most managers love working through a lunch. It means less routes. But let's say you started today with a wage of $30 per hour. Let's assume you stay at that same wage for 30 years (which we all know would be more). 30 years, $30 an hour at OT rate, 5 days a week, your handing UPS $350,000 in your career. Just for skipping your lunch. SO TAKE YOUR gosh darn LUNCH SCAB!

In New England, the language is ignored by the union and company. The "allowed" lunch language really means required, which makes no sense. This has been talked about for years and occasionally comes up.

Why would anyone work up to an hour for free?

If the company knows you don't take a lunch and looks the other way, it can be considered wage theft.

Besides, my state law says I'm entitled to 30 minutes break for an 8 hour day. And DOT says I must as well.
And why would anyone work for an hour for free???

The only reason I can see not taking your lunch is if you bonus more time than you give up. I think the company and the union are scared to enforce the lunch languages for their own different reasons.

I can see why the company would not be eager to enforce the language but why would the union be hesitant to do so?
