I am 6 months pregnant, and work at a department store, With the pregnancy, I had to change from back dock work to registers. My feet are now dreadfully swollen and sore, but they wont let me have a stool, but wont give me a reason. Also I need to go to the toilet probably every 2-3 hours (baby bladder) and my boss told me that coz i was working a 5 hour shift I didnt get a break, I told her I really needed to go, and she got really mad at me. Is there anything wrong with this?

Report the whole company to the Department of Industrial Relations.Call the newspapers and t.v. too.Your boss is a criminal and should be charged.
