I hire you. Part of the conditions of me hiring you is that you do not drive or own an SUV. You violate that condition and I fire you.
Under what legal grounds would you have a claim against me in such a situation?
There were legal challenges based on motorcycle ownership. They did not stand and thus the SUV challenge would not stand. It is a question of off workplace envirnment activity and liability.
I remember Rugger had to back down on one of these pissing matches.
What if you get a ride to work in an SUV by somebody who doesn't work for the company? Could the boss fire you for that? How far do we take this?
The way I see it, if the boss's rules impact the employee's personal life in such a way that they cause undue stress and therefore poorer work performance, and the boss did nothing to alleviate said stress, the employee would have a case.
