Re: meal break
How long is your shift?
Depending on how long your shift is, you might not actually have 40mins total time

I personally think a break is a break and you take it when you need it. But the union rep will probably know the official line in your office.

Local agreement. Virtually everybody just takes the 20 off their finish time at our place then 20 before going out. Sitting in a van for 40 minutes out there would drive me mad personally, but each to their own.

Re: meal break
They need to put a stop to this taking 20 mins at the end of the shift and leaving early.

Yes, it’s so ridiculous.

Re: meal break
Why?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: meal break
Would rather take the break at the end than sit around out on delivery sweating or freezing.

Re: meal break
Why? It negates some of the impact of later finishes, and is it practical to always take a 20 minute break outdoors? It ain't too bad in reasonable weather, but at peak summer or winter you're really sitting in a van for 20 minutes? What if you're on a trolley and you're literally exposed to driving rain, the cold or extreme heat with nowhere to go?

Re: meal break
By leaving early you're not actually taking your break, you're just leaving early. Once RM link SISO data to pay, that'll put a stop to anyone leaving earlySeymour Buts wrote: ↑12 Sep 2024, 19:57Why?

Re: meal break
Why would you sit in your van for 20mins? You could go to a shop and buy a hot drink, potter about, then get back to work. That’s what I do.Seymour Buts wrote: ↑12 Sep 2024, 19:57Why?

Re: meal break
It’s part of their plan. First they want to do it for overtime. Once that happens it will be only a matter of time until it is standard.
