Or alternatively, how about WTF are you doing plugging your phone into this fucking cockpit? You're here to do your job and if you want to carry your phone around with you in the factory all day that's up to you, but plugging your phone into the fucking cockpit you're meant to be working on will result in demotions, suspensions and unemployment all round. More politely put, I see no obligation on employers to provide employees with the means to recharge their personal phones :)

I see no obligation on employers to provide employees with the means to recharge their personal phones What makes you so sure it isn't (also) their work phone? Lots of people I know don't have a personal phone and a work phone, they just have a phone.

> More politely put, I see no obligation on employers to provide employees with the means to recharge their personal phones :) This is a classic "design a better human" problem - sure, you can try to 'persuade' people by threatening them with demotions, suspensions and unemployment. And then you can hope that this will work in every single instance. Or ... you can provide a few usb ports in a convenient location, so people use these instead of the usb port in your multi million dollar cockpit to charge their phones. Take your pick. For another example decide if it's easier to provide waste bins or to threaten people who litter streets.

  They were working in a cockpit factory. They had many other options for charging their phone in a USB socket, and they still chose to charge it by plugging it into the cockpit. Your solution, in this situation, already existed and people still plugged phones into the cockpit. Why would they NOT do this, under your system? If I can plug my phone in right where I am, in the cockpit, or somewhere less convenient for me, why would I not just do it where I am, in the cockpit? There are no penalties for it, so why wouldn't I do it?
