Flagpersons wearing diapers.

Diaper-wearing woman awarded $150,000 - UPI.com

This poor lady couldnt walk off into the woods like other highway workers so she had to wear diapers.

I suppose pretty soon all State Road trucks will be required to carry porta-potties to every work site.

If they're that far from a bathroom, they should provide a porta potty.

That makes TONS of sense.... where and when are they going to change them? Then let's say it's a hot day, the combination of sweat and urine.... no thank you, I'd rather squat in the woods. I always see a port-a-potty at job sites

OSHA Requires porta johns or restrooms for construction sites. I do believe that the requirements for mobile road crews or construction may be different. I don't do a lot of roadwork. The last few road jobs I did were long term, 6 month projects and we had porta johns, we all still just walked somewhere else to go though.

Where were the men taking their potty breaks? Ya know, I'm all for equal employment and whatever, but sometimes females carry it a bit far. I don't feel that special accomodations should be made for someone who willingly takes a job. She should have considered the working conditions before she took the job.

I have to say I agree with you. I like to camp and I can remember many times putting my back up against a tree. When nature calls, do what you gotta do.

I agree too. I specifically never applied for a job that would require me to wait for somebody to relieve me if/when I needed to use the restroom. If I couldn't go at my own free will, then it wasn't the job for me.

yup. Though I will admit it does take some practice not to pee on your pants...
