DENVER -- A supervisor with telecommunications giant Qwest apparently decided to confront the issue of lengthy bathroom breaks by workmen, but it didn't sit well with union officials.

Union officials in Colorado said 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 disposable urinal bags to 25 male field technicians, telling them not to waste time leaving a job site to search for a public bathroom.

A company spokeswoman told the Rocky Mountain News there's no policy that requires field technicians to use urinal bags while they're out on a job.

1. Why don't the shit heads just ask them to use adult diapers...

Then they could take a dump and never have to leave the job site. They can change themselves on their contractual breaks.

2. I;m a field tech, we use a small bucket and then dump somewhere

I'd be spending half my day, on one bathroom break, if I had to pull up the ladders ,tools, vents, tent,or what ever we were using , load them in the truck a find a rest room, some workers are too lazy to work and try to find ways around being outside.

3. Truckers use plastic 2 litre soda bottles

and dump them next to the highway where sunlight and heat do their things making the whole mess a nasty one for highway cleanup crews.

When the hell is this country going to stop denying that we all have bodily functions that need to be taken care of?

5. I use Gatorade bottles , they have a big mouth

tells you of the size of a trucker. not to mention the bladder size.

6. PLEASE empty the sucker into a toilet and discard it in a waste bin

People who pick up trash can get sick from the yellow bombs next to the highway.

Urine is a great medium for growing all sorts of disease causing bugs.

7. You need a sense of humor.

Of course I care about the earth , I don't litter.
