"A meat company supplying Tesco has been accused of "Dickensian employment practices" by making workers clock off when they go the toilet. The Unite union is now calling on Tesco to intervene to stamp out the practice at Dumfriesshire-based Brown Brothers. One worker said staff felt "angry" that time spent in the toilet was not included in their working week" (BBC News, 26 June) RD
