Meanwhile, American Future Systems Inc, a business letter publisher, was ordered by a judge to pay back $1.75 million to thousands of its employees. This ruling came after the company was caught forcing employees to clock out before they pissed. It's also really worth noting that this company employed 6,000 people and this went on for four years.
Honestly, this is so common that the whole column could be entirely about this. A report on the poultry industry by Oxfam detailed how employees in the United States are so routinely denied the right to use the bathroom that they either just avoid drinking during the day to prevent the need or (again) wear a diaper at work so they can go home at night covered in chicken shit on the outside and their own shit on the inside. But there's no need for unions or anything here, let's not get crazy.
