US staff lose jobs over smoke ban

Thank the gods I'm self employed! At this point, there is no way I would want to reenter the corporate world: they don't want workers anymore, they'll be satisified with nothing less than serfs.

And lest you are beguiled into thinking that this is about smoking:

According to Reuters news agency, Mr Weyers wants to turn his attention next to overweight workers.

And after that? Maybe people who ride motorcycles? Think of the extra risk of injury (and subsequent health care costs) they impose! Why, how dare they!

Four workers are forced out of a US firm after they refuse to take a test to determine if they are smokers.
