Got fired today!

[Geez Louise]

:

Today I got fired. Not because I did not do my job well but because my boss found out I am a smoker. Did not smoke in work hours and did my job to the best of my ability.

Even got praised last week for a stella job! but today he found out I smoke.

Never have I smoked on the property or near my boss or in fact before I went to work. During the interview process he never asked if I smoked so I never told him. If he asked, I would have been honest and said yes!

What right does this guy have?? He says because it is the "Food Industry" he has every right. Now... I have looked at the HACCP manual and it says nothing about smoking other than you can not smoke on the grounds or around the food prep area. (both of which I NEVER did!)

This guy is stuck in the 1950's! My question is...should I take this matter further?? I have never been fired before. This is a first and to say because I smoke not because I am not doing my job well...hey that aint right!

Does anyone know the legal stand point on this issue??
