I think that's a good thing. Now men need to demand automatic "kitchen passes" for a night out with the boys each month. That would be fair!

[SlowBoat407]

God help the men if they turn down menstrual leave!

[writer33]

This is a bloody subject. We could beat this to death. :)

Paleeeeeeeeeeeeze suck it up you bunch of babies.

[socalrepubminority]

it's good because male co-workers wont have to deal with the "illness" from those on their periods.

this is the 2nd thread today regarding pms.
Is it that time of the month here ?

[Adder]

Good idea beins as how they are unclean then.
Keep 'em outta the wheat...keep them outta the 4-Runners.

What a crock.

I demand absolute equality in the workplace! If women get "Menstrual Leave", then men should get it too.

[Tarpaulin]

I predicted this when those smokers got fired recently.

[flying Elvis]

Men should require blue ball leave if this is accepted.

[Semper Paratus]

This is discriminatory to post-menopausal women.

[Mears]

Women today are becoming damn whining babies.

Unbelievable!

Comment was being sought from Toyota Australia.

So the situation is fluid at the moment.

Even if the autoworkers don't get the day off, I still want legislation passed for husbands to get the Kitchen Pass each month.

>>>"A lot of women have terribly bad periods and they are genuinely ill and we simply say that has to be recognised."<<

ever hear of midol, tylenol, advil, etc. etc. etc. this is just another excuse for women to take a day off

[EagleUSA]

Just more union crap. The selfish extortion of unions continues to show itself...

[freepertoo]

Oh...good...grief.

[azhenfud]

To be fair, men should get paid hardship leave....;-)

Kitchen pass - 100 percent unanamously passed!

[aynrandfreak]

This undercuts the whole equal pay argument.
