Smoke Or Else!

I have heard of friends that they have to entertain their subcontractors or clients by bringing them to entertainment centres and then forced to drink along by them or even their own bosses/superiors. So, either you drink or you are considered non-complying with superior orders.

Well, in Buesum of Germany, there is this manager of a IT company who may want all his workers to smoke or else! Or else what?

Owing to the recent non-smoking rules being implemented in Germany, this manager may be afraid that three of his non-smoking staff may lodge a report against his company for breaching this non-smoking rules as the three staff have requested for a non-smoking working environment in the office.

Bear in mind that the manager and the rest of the staff do smoke. In order to have a perfect working environment for the rest of this staff, he sacked this three non-smokers. His reason for their sacking - non-smoking was causing disruptions.

The manager said "I can't be bothered with trouble-makers. Everyone picks on smokers these days. It's time for revenge. I'm only going to hire smokers from now on." I wonder what recourse this three staff would have after this uncalled for sacking.
