Aaah the cheap bastards would probably want the union to pay for the accessories. "Employers clinging to Dickensian bathroom break policies", indeed. Are there no pissants? Are there no outhouses? Yes, the former are in the front office chiseling the wages of workers using the latter. OHHH NO! NOT ON *MY* TIME YOU DON'T! But speaking of chisels - perhaps the unions could meet the capitalists halfway, negotiating half-pay for crapper time provided the fellow who decapitated Maggie Thatcher's statute gets amnesty. (Bit of UK thread cross-referencing, here. :)
