I ...I fully appreciate someone being anti-smoking. I even appreciate them not wanting to employ smoking. However, if they hire someone who smokes, and that is acceptable to them, then said smoker should be able to continue their employ after the boss decides against smoking. I don't know that I would require the boss to maintain health insurance for smokers, but the folks who smoked when he hired them, provided they still do good work, should be allowed to stay. <BR/><BR/>Had he made it a policy that new hires would have to be nonsmokers, then I could appreciate that, because at least then he's taking a habit they already possess, as opposed to trying to change them to fit his wishes.<BR/><BR/>by the way, welcome to the binjo ditch, Ashley. I trust you'll find it more pleasant here than the ones in Korea.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148864091827107809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1107838209633024002005-02-07T22:50:00.000-06:002005-02-07T22:50:00.000-06:00how about smoking pot and random drug testing? wo...how about smoking pot and random drug testing? would that be covered under the bill? hmmm...red.hot.mamma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16009079438690150776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10221823.post-1107833061506626532005-02-07T21:24:00.000-06:002005-02-07T21:24:00.000-06:00A quick update on this one from the Detroit Free P...A quick update on this one from the Detroit Free Press:<br />According to the Press, a representative from Michigan's Congress is offering a Proposed legislation that would keep employers from discriminating against someone for doing something they don't like (smoking at home, in this case.) My guess is that they saw this on the Early Show, and decided to do something about it. I just hope the measure passes, not because I want to encourage smoking, but because I think it's important to allow people to enjoy freedoms allowed by law in their own homes without fear of losing their jobs.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148864091827107809noreply@blogger.com
