Western WA Highway Builders Told To Quit Drinking Beer On The Job

A company building the new Highway 520 bridge in Western Washington is under scrutiny, after a TV crew filmed employees drinking beer at a Bellevue office. The good news? These were the office folks behind the scenes of the project, not the construction crews driving the heavy equipment.

Here's the story from the Seattle Times and the comments are worth looking through. From "Are they hiring?" to "Here we go again addressing adults like children by sending them to training with counselors rather than the boss providing clear direction and expectations," people had a lot to say about this issue.
