This was my schedule when I worked as a contractor in a union plant:
7:00 - arrive and wait for escort
7:10 - escort shows up, follow him to where they're finishing their coffee
7:15 - go to work area and let them "get ready" to work
7:30 - work
8:45 - go get ready for break
9:00 - break
9:15 - back after getting ready to work and begin work
10:45 - get ready for lunch
11:00 - lunch
12:15 - finish lunch, on the way to get ready to work
12:30 - work
1:45 - go get ready for break
2:00 - break
2:15 - back from getting ready to work and begin work
3:00 - go get ready to leave at 3:30
3:30 - leave
If I wanted to work late, I'd wait from 3:30 to 4:30 for the next shift guy to show up after getting ready to work.
I didn't dare touch anything while no one was there. I wouldn't look at something too long.
