[quote=Anonymous]Close friend just started working as a federal employee for a defense agency. Apparently they don’t have to take a lunch and can leave after 8 hours of working (versus 8.5 hours). She says that her agency isn’t bound by the union contract that enforces the 8.5 hour workday. Is this true? That extra half hour would be incredible to get back (more time at home and would make a big dent in traffic volume) since none of us take lunches at my department. I was told that the union contract requires it at my work, but is this changing? Is there any way to lobby to get rid of the half hour required lunch? I’ve been a fed at 3 different departments and they all forced us to work the extra half hour even if we didn’t stop working/eat lunch. Does your federal agency require lunch? [/quote]
