Obviously, you've never been on a road trip with the Teamsters! Seriously...

Oh, and one more thing... also seriously. This is probably more of a problem with women than men, especially women who have given birth. And it's not even uncommon... quite the reverse actually.

You clearly don't know much about this....you don't have to be sick or drink too much of anything. Some people have weak bladders. Plain and simple.

Then they should be working someplace where they can go to the bathroom whenever they please. Someplace where they can get more than 6 minutes every hour to go to the bathroom. Obviously a Ford assembly line is no place for them to work.

Hey! We got women at Honda that'll squat, shoot the kid out, and never miss a beat on the assembly line. And the newborn is already dressed in Honda whites!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working from 0650 until 2100. We were so busy I could only make time for two - less than 6 minutes each - bathroom breaks. Man, we need a union.

I've worked in two Catholic school systems (Columbus with a union and Cincinnati without) and one major public unionized system (Columbus Public). I can say without doubt that I've been treated with more respect and accorded more rights in Cincinnati where we have no union. Unions seek to expand employee rights but sometimes do just the opposite.
