We here at Free Republic love to post articles that show unions doing stupid things, but in this case, the union is doing the right thing.

I normally class unions below even the Obamadork in idiocy and corruption, but this time, go union, go.

Spend more than 6 minutes a day in the bathroom at Chicago's WaterSaver Faucet company and you'll face disciplinary measures..
In unrelated news, they're introducing chili and burritos in their company lunchroom.

Oh yeah! I've worked with those tiny bladders. It's all BS in the bathroom texting their boyfriends or whatever.

They should get with the program and issue Depends to employees - I use ‘em and don’t have to leave my desk all day....

Why would I need a union to tell the employer to pound sand?

That is crazy! What if you are sick? Or maybe have an illness that sometimes flares up causing more bathroom time? My husband has Crohn’s disease and 6 minutes would not do for him on several days.
Heck by the time you unzip your pants, pee, wash and dry your hands, it’s been probably 90 sec. Just to pee!
I’m with the union here & more power to them for sticking up for these employees.

I dunno about this one. In reading the article, the company sounds like a real slave driving shop. However, if I'm an employer, I'm paying my people to work, not sit in the can, texting.
I worked in a Retail Place that had a problem like this, but it was pre-cell phone. I was on a crew of three stocking shelves; we were pretty autonomous. One guy on the shift would clock in at 6am, then grab a newspaper and camp out in the bathroom for half an hour or 45 min while the other two of us worked.
Other guy and I complained a bunch to managment. Finally, the manager held the guy's time card, made him pick it up in order to punch in and out. Just the fact that someone was paying attention (much like the company in this story) cleared the problem up, pretty quickly.

Block cellphone activity (through shielding) and you’d cut down on “slack time” in bathrooms.
PS never buy a used cellphone.

The owners are a caricature of bad management. These people are the reasons Unions are formed. Stupid.
Good management makes Unions unnecessarily. If ownership insists on an adversarial relationship then they get what they ask for.

If true the company has nobody to blame but itself for its labour troubles. I’ll hold off on further comment until all the facts are in; I suspect there’s more to the story; bear in mind that these are allegations that have not been tested in a hearing.

Maybe Water Saver is trying to save water.
Actually, this is really stupid. If they want to limit bathroom breaks, I guess they have the right; but 6 minutes a day is absurd.
