Meet the finalists for JRA Best Workplaces - Video

The question (again)is:
How much credibility do these awards have if a tobacco company is a finalist?

This can be paraphrased as:
How do the other businesses (especially in he same group) feel about the involvement of a tobacco company?

Could the other participants be surveyed for their stances on this prior to the 2010 event?

If they don't particularly mind, that is a suggestion they need to do some research.

Shaun????

it's a business - correct
It's legal - correct

they employ staff - correct
The staff are the ones that fill in the survey - correct

so what's your problem - how does it being a tobacco company have anthying to do with it.

The survey is cokmpleted by companies staff, therefore THEY are the ones that end up chosing the winner - by virtue of their vote.

Suggest you do your research in future
