Boss sued for sacking non-smokers
A German boss is being taken to a tribunal for firing non-smokers and replacing them with smokers who "fitted in better".
Thomas Jensen, head of a telesales company in Buesum in northern Germany, has laid off three non-smokers at his company and said he will not be hiring any more.
He said: "Smokers have always been our best employees. Non-smokers interfere with corporate peace.
"Our non-smoking employees were actually convinced that they had the right to smoke-free zones. They just complained all the time about smoking, and I don't like grumblers.
"It was also very disappointing that the non-smokers would distance themselves from the smokers at social events - it didn't build any team spirit. From now on, I'm only employing smokers."
The three sacked workers are now suing him for unfair dismissal.
