Without legal protection, workers are held captive. Knowing that supervisors often deny permission to leave the production line, a poultry processor who cannot risk losing her job may urinate where she stands. Many now wear adult diapers designed for the incontinent. An elementary school teacher wanting to use the bathroom may take her whole class along.
Linder and Nygaard explain how protective rest period legislation has shrunk over time. Ironically, because most statutes singled out women for rest breaks, they were invalidated by Title VII's ban on sex discrimination. The authors explain other countries' regulations and conclude with a recommendation for legislation to mandate rest and bathroom breaks for all workers.
