AT&T: What Part of “Lunch Break” Do You Not Understand?

From my inbox: AT&T technicians in Indiana have filed a lawsuit alleging that the company has put “heavy restrictions” on how they can spend their unpaid lunch breaks. The complaint says that while employees can spend unpaid lunch breaks eating in company vehicles, they aren’t allowed to read newspapers, nap, use personal computers, or listen to portable music players, such as iPods. The company also restricts how far workers can go from a job site during their unpaid lunch breaks to less than one-half mile. No reading newspapers, no listening to music, no writing on computers: your First Amendment at work! H/t Gordon Lafer
