Union: Workers told to use urine bags

[Roon]

DENVER - Union officials in Colorado say a Qwest supervisor tried to cut down on lengthy bathroom breaks by telling workmen to use disposable urinal bags in the field.

The manager distributed the bags to 25 male field technicians, telling them not to waste time leaving a job site to search for a public bathroom, the Rocky Mountain News reported Thursday.

2. I think they should all turn them in at the end of the day to show how

much time they were saving.

3. Sounds like somebody tried to win an efficiency award.

There's no policy for this sort of thing, according to the article.

My question, is where the hell were these people working that there were no bathrooms? Denver's a big city, they couldn't have been far. If it was a big project, you take a porta-potty. And if they're far enough away from civilization to find public bathrooms, where are these guys expected to go to the bathroom? In their van?

Come on.
