Antiwork

Not allowed to leave the unit once we have clocked in.

I know labor laws can vary state by state, but doesn't this sort of count as holding someone hostage? They're not physically barring us from leaving but threatening termination if we step off the unit. There's one restroom for staff on the unit, there's no food available unless you bring a lunch, and these people are working 12 hour shifts. The cherry on top is that management is constantly going off the unit and coming back with breakfast and lunch from the cafeteria to eat. They've been dealing with horrendous turnover and this is the new policy they put in place?
