It's so reassuring to find out in this topic that distant government bureaucrats from unrelated backgrounds know more about operating a business than the actual owners of it.
The bureaucrats work with the information they get from the business owners. It's not like they just went "YOU CAN'T FIRE THE TRUCK DRIVER" without listening to anyone. The truck driver "had worked for the company for five years without incident" and was fired just because he had a disease/affection. The government decided that wasn't fair.
Again, it's like a black guy getting fired for being black, the government telling the employer that they're not allowed to do that because racism is illegal, and then you saying "oh man there go distant government bureaucrats from unrelated background taking decisions for business owners again." And before people start telling me how that's the stupidest thing they've ever read and whatnot - no, I'm not saying alcoholism is comparable to being black. I'm using the example to make a point about how the government is in the right in this instance.
