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!

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

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

Men should require blue ball leave if this is accepted.

Comment was being sought from Toyota Australia.

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