Seems that there is a sizable Sudanese community that is a workforce there. It sucks to hear they come to Canada and find conditions like this.
Yes the site is biased but I'm sure there is plenty of truth to this. Aren't their laws or labour regulations that protect against this? I'm pretty sure the Alberta Employment Standards Code guarantee breaks, especially washroom breaks.
Every employer must allow each employee a
total of at least 30 minutes of rest, whether paid or unpaid, during each shift
in excess of 5 consecutive hours of work unless
(a) an
accident occurs, urgent work is necessary or other unforeseeable or
unpreventable circumstances occur,
(b) different
rest provisions are agreed to pursuant to a collective agreement, or
© it is not reasonable for the employee to
take a rest period.
So unless these workers contracts stated they couldn't have washroom breaks in the fine print or some ambiguous wrangling of © applied, it's ridiculous that workers have to wear diapers.
