Okay here is the setting:
I work in a factory, that is very dusty and work around dies that rage from 200-300 degrees. When I first started there we were able to to have water with us at our work station, our lines that we work on. Now new owners have taken over know as the anti christs, who have no clue on what it takes to make the parts in the first place or how it is to work in those condidtions. Especially in the summer time.
So last week I got dehydrated and sick of the crap, so I went to see a doctor and he wrote a work restriction that says that I am to have water with me at my work station when needed.
Oh, I forgot to mention, that the new work instructions that we got from this compnay says that we may not leave our lines for any reason, only when we are on one of our 2 20 min breaks that we get in an 8 hour shift.
Anyways, I go into work and get sent home because my work restrictions violate company policy.
so now what?

Get the old union crew together on the sly and plan a strike for the workers rights. It's the way of cutting through the owner's bull sh**.

if you can go back to work, buy one of those hydration bladders you can wear, it holds water, and you sip it with a tube, and you wear it, if you take sips when no one is looking, you can get water
eat fruits that have high water in em, like pear or cucumber, tomato, before you go to work or on shift.
if you cant go back to work no more
you should sue

Try the union. Then report them to the better business bureau or what ever place it is that takes care of employees of factories. and if that doesn't work . . .SUE THE BASTARDS.
