Factories can be dangerous places, so you're obliged to address any potentially hazardous safety issues with speed and efficiency. It's your business, so if someone is hurt, you're on the hook.
Then you discover that several of your employees are drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis on their lunch break. It's a clear breech of the company rules, it presents a tremendous liability hazard, and it's illegal.
So, what would you do? You'd fire them, right?

Anyone remember when unions were all about workplace safety? Remember the slogan "an injury to one is the concern of all."
Ah well, screw worker safety. I can't wait to check out the new Chryslers this year...they ought to be just fantastic...
