Fight for your Right to Take a Dump!

Anarchosyndicalist Youth Leipzig (ASJ Leipzig): at a comrade's workplace in a call-centre, new workplace formalities have been introduced. Workers got 5 minutes to take a dump. If they exceed the time limit, they will have to justify themselves in front of the boss.

Whether it is stomach trouble, pregnancy, menstrual period or something else, if workers go to the toilet longer than five minutes, they will have to justify it. LIDL supermarket chain already tried to install similar workers harassments, but Germany's federal labour court decided against it.

FAU Leipzig wrote a letter demanding the abandonment of the new direction. If not, FAU Leipzig would start industrial actions - the bosses withdrew immediately. Although FAU Leipzig is relatively small, it has been the second time for them to bring improvements about the worker's situation in this company. In both cases, the big German centralist unions represented in the company's workers council, did not show any initiative to change the workers' situation.

There is no doubt about it, Anarchosyndicalism is the right way!

We can reach our goals only by ourselves –

the big union's fat cats won't bring a change!
