One hour lunches?

[By The Book]

"never didn't" is a double negative.

You're is a contraction of the words "you" and "are".

I know it's difficult.

I just Reread the posts as many times as I have to so I understand them. I haven't finished with that post yet.

It is D.O.T. LAW that we must take 30 min lunch..it is UPS that makes us take a full hour.

I think UPS uses the language in the contract to force the 1 hour lunch...what do you think?

Actually the hour lunch is a supplement agreement agreed to by both sides which the company is enforcing.

Correct---UPS is not arbitrarily forcing drivers to take an hour lunch.

The "30 minutes before 8 hours" is a DOT requirement.

No, no it is not. Not for package car drivers.

Are you saying that even though there is language that says to take a 30 min lunch, and state law is 30 min lunch, that the driver isn't required to take a 30 min lunch before 8 hours?

You are misinformed. I am unaware of your state or there laws. But I know as a fact of locals that have an agreement in place that only require taking a 1 minute lunch, and no laws in said state against such....

I'm only referring to California law. I am not misinformed with regards to my contract. As for what you know of other locals, I can't speak to that. I do know that UPS contracts have to comply with applicable state laws. It's up to the company to enforce the lunches, and the union reacts to that.

I agree. We have a ton of 1 minute lunch guys. It's because of the California lawsuit. I don't have a link but it's legit. I don't agree with taking a 1 minute lunch but it is what it is.

So they take a 1 minute lunch because they will be paid back for the 59 minutes they didn't take? I really haven't heard of many states that have a 1 minute requirement for a lunch. Kind of hard to justify putting in routes when this happens.

Say you start at 9:05 and you take a 1 minute lunch your eight is up at 5:06. It is a route killer but making guys take the lunch is a whole other animal.

What is the language on this issue? Does it comply with state law? If lunches are not being taken according to state laws(minimum time take) it just takes a call to the right place.

Let me give you an example , your on 9.5 list , you stop at the McDonald's at 1:30 for lunch, no line , eat your mc double and mc chicken , in 15 minutes. You put in your 2 paid 10 minute breaks and 1 minute for lunch and you still have 6 minutes left over to stare at the 20 year old McDonalds chick working the counter.....instead of having to be back by 7:05 you now have to be back by 6:35 to be under 9.5....

I already told you, no state laws are being broken....
