hi everyone, i live in Italy, and recently a news article has come out talking about how a store manager found a period pad on the floor and not in the trashcan and demanded her female workers to openly declare wether they were on their period, and in case of refusal she threatened to “pull their panties down and check for herself”. this obviously summoned a lot of criticism and shocked reactions, as well as SO MANY testimonies of workers who had to deal with many embarassing and humiliating situations because they were denied a bathroom break. As I'm very interested in social issues and writing I'm collecting the experiences of the people who shared them in order to bring light to the terrible inhumane conditions that workers have to live in. Does anyone in the rest of the world know of any similar circumstances and cases? if so I would like to know if this is everywhere.
if anyone's interested, here's the original article, it's in Italian but I think it can be translated with Google:
