Jim Beam...cited over bathroom breaks
Union says 45 workers disciplined, but company defends restrictions
The Jim Beam bourbon-making plant in Bullitt County is disputing a Kentucky Labor Cabinet citation involving toilet breaks for the plant's bottlingline workers.
Under a policy implemented in October, line workers at the Jim Beam Brands Co. plant may use the restroom only during lunch and two other scheduled daily breaks, one before lunch and one after. They also are allowed one unscheduled toilet break per day, and can be disciplined for taking more, starting with a warning and escalating to dismissal after six incidents.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry about this story. Jim Beam needs to think about its priorities. It's a great PR move...NOT!...mj
