Peru's highest court has ruled that employees cannot be fired for turning up to work drunk.
The Peruvian government has criticised the constitutional tribunal's ruling as setting a dangerous legal precedent.
According to the judgement, sacking a worker because he is drunk is disproportionate and unreasonable

Unfortunately, it seems that the decision revolved around the worker in this case still being able to do his job while inebriated.
That would let have the mp's and Congressmembers in North America get off scott free.

I think beer on the job would actually be appropriate in some cases.
And your subtle reference to Scots is duly noted, Ken. My sister's husband drank on the job for most of his life. I have to have a bottle on hand for when they visit. Never offer a Scot a glass of water - it's against their religion.
Aye, laddie. Ah've Scots blood on both sides meself.

After his walkies.

Peruvians are eminently fair minded and good natured people-not always practical though.....
