THE WOMAN AIRPORT WORKER TOLD TO “LEARN TO PEE STANDING UP"

Worker stories

Solange thought she'd got her dream job driving vehicles at the airport. Sadly, this wasn't the case. She was the only woman and the men tried to “protect” her by keeping her away from her work. There was no woman’s toilet and when she used the men’s, colleagues burst in. She thought her manager respected her, but when she stood up for herself, he patted her on the shoulder and said:

Love, for you to stay here, you’re going to have to learn to pee standing up. This is a man’s place.
