Females Told to Wear Red Bracelets During Periods

(Oslo, Norway) To explain frequent visits to the toilet due to menstruation, female workers have been ordered by their Norwegian boss to wear red bracelets during their periods.

The astonishing demand was revealed in report by a workers' union into 'tyrannical' toilet rules in Norwegian companies.

The study claimed businesses were becoming obsessed with lost productivity due to employees spending too much time answering the call of nature.[…]

The report, which did not name the firm imposing red bracelets on female staff, has now been passed on to Norway's chief comsuner ombudsman Bjorn Erik Thon.

He said: 'These are extreme cases of workplace monitoring, but they are real.

'Toilet Codes relating to mentrual cycles are clear violations of privacy and is very insulting to the people concerned.'

I can only imagine the outrage of the American public if someone tried to mandate the red bracelet scheme in the U.S. It would never happen.
