Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I work loss prevention for a major retailer in florida, and we regularly conduct covert surveillances on associates. Durring these surveillances we are locked in our office or an observation tower for 8 or 9 hours and are not allowed to leave for any reason. This means no lunch, bathroom, or 15 min breaks. We are told to urinate in a bottle, hold it, or use a company provided chemical toilet. There is also always a chance that a manager could walk in while going to the restroom in our office, not to mention our offices are under constant video surveillance so we have to block the camera. I have serious privacy and sanitation concerns with this. Can they really do any of this? I

I would make a complaint with OSHA about these conditions and see if they can do anything for you. For more information on your employee rights check out our employee rights blog www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com or my website www.behrenlaw.com.
