Cleveland Clinic Stops Hiring Smokers
This is a fascinating story, and I agree with Columbuser.
Employers should be able to hire and fire for ANY reason… but would the press coverage of this decision by the Cleveland Clinic be different if the Clinic stopped hiring Jews or homosexuals?
I know plenty of healthy and strong Jewish friends, and their faith certainly doesn’t negatively affect their health. But what if the Cleveland Clinic said “homosexuals, with the serious health risks involved with homosexuality activity… which includes an increased probability of contracting HIV, shouldn’t be working for us?” That statement is entirely reasonable, but I think the decision might not go over well.
