boycott Dish Network

[hangover]

Dish network fired a quadriplegic that was prescribed Marijuana in Colorado, because they have a zero tolerance policy.

This is like Popeyes firing one of their managers after she was robbed at gun point for $400.00, because there are a lot of people boycotting that chicken shit company for being so heartless.

To fire the handicapped for using medical Marijuana, even though he didn't use it while on duty, is just as heartless.

Hopefully Dish Network will lose at least half of it's business. Probably much more in Colorado.

Don't be surprised to see Dish file for bankruptcy.

If the cannabis was via Rx, legal, etc etc. then it shouldn't be any different than any other prescription medication and not subject to any company's drug policies.

How about instead of screwing the whole company you screw just whatever manager is responsible and throw em out the lobby door?

Is likely a legal recourse if the patient did everything legal. Wrongful termination of some sort.

um dude, did you even read the link? The Colorado Supreme Court ruled against him. They ruled that because marijuana was not legal under FEDERAL law , there was no protection.

Also, the Colorado Constitutional amendment SPECIFICALLY states that employees do NOT have to alter their company policies to accommodate marijuana users.

The employee broke the law. DN has every right to fire him.

Until the Feds recognize that medical marijuana should be legal, the issue will not go away.

if a company wants to hire people who use marijuana, they are free to do so.

It also opens up the Feds to come into it, most companies avoid that.

The federal government has been growing and prescribing Medical Marijuana for decades.

Not true.

A company does not have to use a testing program, unless otherwise required by contract or statute. However, a company cannot knowingly employ a person engaged in criminal acts.

Essentially - ignorance is a valid defense in this case, but if a guy walks in the door smoking a joint - hiring that person violates the terms of lawful employment.

You may not like the fact that pit use is against federal law, but it is.
