Questions For Any Lawyers Out There

Be afraid....be very afraid.

Howard Weyers tried the "carrot" approach by giving his employees incentives and encouragement to quit smoking. But when that didn't work, he resorted to the stick. A big stick.

Weyers, owner of a health care benefits administrator in Lansing, Mich., gave his 200 employees an ultimatum in 2004: Quit smoking in 15 months or lose your job. He refused to hire smokers. Ultimately, he extended his smoking ban to employees' spouses and monitored compliance through mandatory random blood testing.

Spouses, and blood testing.

Question: How the fuck can an employer mandate you to control the actions of your spouse?

What if you had a bad day, had a few drinks and got crazy and had a smoke, and got "randomly" blood tested the next day, resulting in being fired for engaging in perfectly legal behavior?

 Would signing a paper agreeing to those terms allow the employer to have any unconstitutional rules they want? Do they get to own you because you get a paycheck from them?

If so, couldn't they require you sign a paper that you'll vote Democrat or lose your job? Or that you have to blow a horse every third Tuesday? Or that your spouse has to blow a horse every third Tuesday?

Why aren't people suing the living shit out of this company?

How the fuck can this fly? My head is gonna explode.
