Void Where Prohibited: Rest Breaks and the Right to Urinate on Company Time(Book).

Research output: Contribution to journalBook/Film/Article reviewpeer-review

Abstract

The book, 'Void Where Prohibited: Rest Breaks and the Right to Urinate on Company Time,' by Marc Linder and Ingrid Nygaard, is an indictment, meticulously researched, painstakingly assembled, and powerfully argued, by scholars of law (Linder) and medicine (Nygaard). It indicts directly a segment of American employers, many engaged in continuous process manufacturing, meat and poultry packing, and some services, who deny their employees regular periods of rest during the workday. It indicts as well most state legislatures, which have failed miserably in mandating rest periods. And it indicts indirectly a society that permits these Dickensian conditions to persist.
