Chile: Women wear diapers to work non-stop

A supermarket chain in Chile is accused of forcing its cashiers to wear diapers to avoid interrupting their work by going to the bathroom:
Going to the bathroom is prohibited during work hours. This is one of the unjust obligations that cashiers at the Chilean supermarket chain Santa Isabel have to fulfill, according to the Central Unitaria de Trabajadores (CUT) union.A union spokesperson said on Thursday that the women working at these establishments “are made to work 9 hours at their cash registers without being allowed to move,” which requires that they wear diapers since they cannot go to the bathroom.
The chain is denying that they’ve done anything wrong. President Bachelet, where are you?

When I lived in Temuco, Santa Isabel was my supermarket. I’m horrified!!!

LOL! That’s so funny! You wouldn’t have to wear the diaper if you quit working for a crappy company.

Bill- like everyone has a huge range of choices as to where to work. Are the same Bill who hates immigrants so much? Have you ever thought that maybe just maybe conditions like these are what make people leave their countries in hopes of having something better?

Well, I’m sure Bill has a great job. One that allows him to keep his potty under the desk. No diapers for Bill, “Pull Ups”.

I think it is a great idea. We need that in the USA. We still need the lunch hour, so you can change your diaper.

There is nothing bad about this at all. I am incontinent and I wear diapers under plastic panties at work for an 8hr shift every day! Its not uncommon for others like me who wet uncontrollably to also choose to work despite this disability. Diapers at work can increase productivity by keeping someone working instead of using the restroom to frequently

I am urge incontinent and must use the restroom very frequently. I wear diapers and plastic pants at work to cut down on trips to the restroom. I would like to know if there are professions right here in America that make using the restroom very difficult or impossible. The answers we get may be surprising!
