Its not easy changing jobs when you have a family and starting at the bottom at 48 is no picnic however I will take my chances. At SAIA the company policy is for a 30 minute lunch break and 2 ten minute paid breaks daily. However they would prefer you to work thru lunch and the two ten minute breaks were unkown. I only found out about them when I found a copy of the employee handbook, they did not provide us with one. I wonder how much money the company is saving over the course of a year by not giving those breaks? 20 minutes a day time x10 city drivers is 200 minutes times 5 days 1000 minutes or 16.6 hours per week. multiply by 52 weeks 863.2 hours @ 17.25 =$14424.00 nice chunck of change they are reaping. If you figure the amount of missed lunches which they dock your check it is quite a bit not too mention a person whom works 12 to 14 hours straight is a safety hazard. would not doubt if the bottom line contributes to the managers year end bonus. I paid over $1500 dollars for crappy insurance for my family in the year I worked there. In addition to the bs they throw at you. For example being on call 8:00 a.m. for a start time anytime up till noon for the whole year. Runs planned by the computer soo tight no time to stop for lunch, or a break therefore you could have too work 12 - 14 hours with out a lunch or break. "Got to make those numbers boys". Favoritism runs rampant the list goes on
