On the other hand, I couldn't put lug nuts on passing cars for eight hours...
When they were originally reporting this on TV, they said the time limit included their morning and afternoon breaks (15 minutes each). It also included from the minute they left the line until the minute they returned to their spot. These plants are HUGE and I don't know where the rest rooms are located in comparison to their work areas, or how many there are, but I could see travel time to and from the rest room could be quite a few minutes too.
