in america, the employer can fire an employee for anything but discrimination. look, there are millions of people who are alcoholics but they are in different stages of recovery. in the swedish kails, the court found that the doctor s job was not affected at all. and i think that should be the test. does this off-duty behavior come into the workplace. does it affect work performance? sure, can the guy. if not, let s let him keep his job. recovery are better chances with a job. ex-convicts were hired, a man who shot two police officers in the 70s, a convicted cocaine smuggler hired as a legislative aide, chicago mayor richard daly say ex-offenders deserve a second chance. ryan, you write about this. you have featured a number of people who have either had addictions or problems or have been ex-offenders, you tend to feel very strongly they should
