Nicotine Tech: Worker Fired for Smoking Off-Job
Outrageous.
Aaron Gouveia writes on Cape Cod Online:
Scott Rodrigues took a drug test in August when he started his new job as a lawn-care technician.More here.
It came back negative for any and all illegal substances.
Then on Sept. 1, Rodrigues' 30th birthday, he was fired.
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Co., a multibillion-dollar corporation, terminated Rodrigues because his urine test turned up traces of nicotine. While smoking cigarettes is legal, Scotts implemented a policy earlier this year forbidding all employees from smoking both on and off the job.
(Props, Flying Hamster.)
