what's going on guys
nick forbade meet here got some
interesting news for you today it seems
using they continue may actually stop
you from getting a job Before we jump in
make sure you hit that subscribe button
and notification bell to stay up to date
with our latest videos now let's check
out u-hauls new policy
[Applause]
just earlier this month u-haul
International based out of Arizona
announced its plans to stop interviewing
and hiring nicotine users including
those who use vaping products the policy
which will begin on February 1st intends
to build on you health promotion of
wellness for employees which includes
other programs encouraging fitness and
healthy nutrition this will roll out in
over 20 states where policies of this
kind are legal and in 17 of those states
companies are also legally allowed to
test for nicotine
according to the announcement those
applying for employment at u-haul will
have to disclose if they use nicotine in
any form including smoking vaping and
chewing and must agree to be tested for
nicotine as an employment condition
despite all this u-haul is not yet
clearly indicated if they'll go forward
with testing so for the time being it
seems like they're covering their tracks
by including it in the policy an effort
to encourage employees to follow this
policy the company will waive an
insurance premium that is normally
mandatory for those that abstain from
nicotine
oddly enough for now current employees
won't be subjected to the same policy so
this really makes me think it could lead
to a double standard in the workplace
Jessica Lopez an executive from u-haul
commented on the new policy saying the
company very much cares for the health
of their workforce and any decreases in
health care costs on the company would
be considered a bonus just gonna throw
my opinion in there it kind of sounds
like the priorities are the other way
around
u-haul is home to many entry-level jobs
like labor and customer service
statistically those that come from a
low-income background are more likely to
both smoke and seek out jobs like these
the response outside of u-haul
themselves has been pretty negative many
commenting on the policy see it as
discriminatory against people who have
an addiction and also criticized it as
consuming nicotine in most forms such as
smoking vaping and chewing or legal what
concerns me the most is that the number
one reason people begin vaping is to
quit smoking on that note it also makes
me wonder how the company plans to
respond to users of nicotine replacement
therapy products like gum or patches
it's worrying that just because
someone's method of quitting smoking
differs from the company's policy they
could essentially lose an employment
opportunity it feels like there's a lot
of gray area here that u-haul may have
not considered and it's disappointing to
know that even people actively trying to
quit smoking could be denied employment
I also wonder where this policy will
stop will you help begin refusing
rentals to customers who smoke or vape
to and since this is coming from a wall
in this standpoint will they eventually
stop hiring people Reed sugar for now
all we can do is wait and see let me
know your thoughts about Yuhas actions
