YOU'RE FIRED!

[BlueTiki]

Tiki that is exactly my point, the employer has an obligation to the other employee's to provide a safe work environment, gays in the work place are high risk in my book, as well as IV drug users, they test for drug use, they also need to test for HIV.

I should not be forced into associating with them at work, the laws are being designed to force acceptance of a life style I find repugnant by making it a work place requirement.

I am a disciple of pure capitalism. As a broad generalization, I believe an employer should enjoy unabashed freedom with wages, work conditions and the hiring and firing of employees. Let the market and those seeking employment decide if the offerings of an employer should be supported.

If you truly believe that an employer “has an obligation to the other employees to provide a safe work environment” how do you reconcile mental health issues?

A co-worker might suffer from schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder and yet, if medicated, is a functioning and productive employee. But how do you know if they’ll continue with their medication regime? The next thing you know . . . *boom* . . . Jared Loughner.

And then there’s the communicable disease issue. Should employers be required to DAILY health-screen employees to prevent the spread of contagions?

If an employee comes to work sick, is this grounds for termination for violating a "safe" work environment edict?
