�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Although federal and state regulations require employers to provide toilets, government agencies do not require employers to permit workers to use them. In this volume, Marc Linder, a labour lawyer and political economist and Ingrid Nygaard, a physician specializing in urogynaecology, place this regulatory breakdown in the wider context of the history of labour-management struggles over rest periods. They emphasize the physiological consequences that workers suffer when they are not allowed to interrupt work to rest or urinate. The authors assert that without legal protection, workers are held captive. They report that, knowing that supervisors often deny permission to leave the production line, many workers 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. They explain other countries' regulations and conclude with a recommendation for legislation to mandate rest and bathroom breaks for all workers.

Rese�a del editor

"I read this informative book with disbelief and mounting rage. Being denied the biologic right to urinate not only injures the kidneys but is probably a potent risk factor for heart problems. It has been amply demonstrated that work pressure, no-exit situations, and psychologic stressors predispose to progressions of coronary vascular disease. I can think of few stresses more intolerable than the pressures of a full bladder. Not even criminals in solitary confinement confront such torment. This is a vitally important book. It merits the widest dissemination. Without public pressure, such demeaning of human beings will not be halted."--Bernard Lown, M.D., Harvard School of Public Health Although federal and state regulations require employers to provide toilets, government agencies, incredibly, do not require employers to permit workers to use them.
