AT ISSUE: FAR TOO MUCH COSTLY GOVERNMENT REGULATION/MEDDLING AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE IN HOW PEOPLE RUN THEIR BUSINESSES
THIS SUITS INVOLVES the feds suing Old Dominion Freight for terminating a trucker who self-reported his alcohol abuse problem. The government however defines alcoholism as a disability which is not a fireable offense. Can you imagine the liability of having a drunk truck driver of an 18-wheeler relapsed, driving a big rig on the Interstate? This person does not need to be driving professionally for a living, even if he's on the wagon. He may have reported himself, but he still doesn't need to be doing this kind of driving.
When I hear stories like this, I have to wonder, how much longer this country---which once was free---can take this kind of senseless meddling and defining by government bureaucrats. Read the story; decide for yourself.
