British labor leaders are fuming over a meat-processing company's new rule forcing workers to clock out every time they have to use the bathroom.

"It's outrageous that in 2008, workers should have to endure the indignity of clocking out for toilet breaks," said one union official.

Even a simple restroom run can be time-consuming for workers, who must remove their rubber boots, overalls and hairnets each time they go.
