Western-Central Lower Michigan | Not going to address your particular questions, just my take on it. Its your equipment and farm, make any work rule and enforce it.
I'm a non smoker and work on a farm with 2 addicted smokers. One keeps it in one tractor (stinks to high heaven), the other is a rude crude flaming arse hole. He would smoke just out of spite. I try to stick to one tractor and dont want the stink or dirt of smokers. I think this year, I may put my job on the line and tell the boss, if someone smokes in that tractor, I'm done. I dont care if it is the middle of corn planting. I detest the smell of cigarettes that much. My best ally is the boss, he is a non smoker. Time will tell. |
