Isn't up to the company to decide what concessions they will and won't make to employee requests? If they want to set up a smoking room(I've been in a place or two that had those) then fine.
BUT, what if they don't? Maybe it's unwise, depending how many smokers they employ, but isn't that their right?
Isn't up to the company to decide what concessions they will and won't make to employee requests?Should that be "isn't it"? If so, sometimes it is up to the company and sometimes it isn't. If the company owns the building it would probably be easier. If they lease it, well...jump through the hoop.
BUT, what if they don't?Well you already know the answer to that. The smokers get sent outside.
Maybe it's unwise, depending how many smokers they employ, but isn't that their right?Not if there is a law disallowing them from exercising that right on their own property. Gotta comply.
2)I am against laws that interfere with owners of bars/clubs/restaurants/etc from deciding what their policy will be regarding smoking or drinking or whatever on their property
If the company owns their property what is the difference?
4)I DO think that in closed spaces, such as offices, where people have to work and produce for hours on end, that there should be SET-ASIDE rooms with proper ventilation for smokers OR they should go outside(smaller buildings won't have space for smoke rooms)
As you imply...that should be up to the company/property owner to decide.
