The fact that GSL apparently makes no particular provision for rest stops or refreshment is irrelevant, common humanity dictates that this should occur. You don’t need instructions for every step of your duties, or if you do then you shouldn’t have the job in the first place.
Maybe they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find employees that are so mindless and insensitive to perform these “duties”,
