Interesting, yesterday at 9 am at the McDonalds on Sandy Lane, there must have been a DPW convention. There were 9 DPW trucks there, and others at the Dunkin Donuts in the same plaza. I was in CVS for about 20 minutes and when I came out they were still there/ I thought that they only got a 15 minute coffee break. So I wondered, when does the break begin? Does it start when they leave their route and drive across town to meet at Micky D's? Or does the 15 minute break begin when they get to the place? Or maybe it begins once they have their food in hand? Or does it begin after they have eaten the food? In any event, the 15 minute break clearly is not 15 minutes. It is at a minimum 1/2 hour.
From the contract

The City shall allow one (1) fifteen (15) minute rest period during each one-half (1/2) shift
of each workday. Such rest periods shall be assigned by the Department Head, Division
Chief or Agency Director and such rest periods shall not be accumulative.
I wonder how much work time is being lost due to the travel time to and from break time? Unbelievable !
