MEMORANDUM
To: Peter Sparber
From: Susan Stuntz, Jeff Ross, Lisa Osborne
Subject: Corporate Contacts Re Workplace Smoking
Following is the public smoking issues team
quarterly cumulative report on companies, unions,
associations and restaurants with which we have had
contact. This report details contacts made between
January 8, 1986 and April 8, 1986.
These contacts include more than 1,500 companies
who have attended seminars at which a TI representative
or consultant spoke; some 170 individual companies,
several trade associations and 14'; national, state and
local chambers of commerce with~whom we are working to
produce guidelines and assistance for members. Th~ey
also include 13 state restaurant groups as well as the
National Restaurant Association!.
Among the highlights of this report are :
. Our contacts with the Michigan, Vermont,
New Hampshire and~U.S. Chambers of Commerce. All three
state chambers agreed~to work with us to produce for
their members booklets counseling reasonable accommo-
dation of smokers and nonsmokers in the workplace.
. Continuing contact with businesses in New
Jersey charged with developing a policy to conform with
New Jersey law. As a result of a brochure distributed
by the New Jersey Business andlIndustry Association, and
referrals by NJBIA, we have worked with dozenis of
employers (including Grand'Met in Montvale) to ensure
reasonable accommodation.
. Results of follow-uA conversations with four
companies with whom we had worked in the past. In two
cases -- Teachers' Insurance and Annuity Association and
the Denver Public Service Commission -- our contacts
told us that our materials were major factors in
corporate decisions to forgo formal policies inilieu of
individual cooperation and case-by-case resolution of
problems. The other two companies -- Exx=and~American
Express in New York -- reported that they had no
smoking-related problems and~therefore no plans to adopt
oolicies.
page 1
r
our 1986 issues plan calls for 120 individual issuee
briefings and 20 presentations to chambers of commerce
and professional organizations. At the end of the first
quarter, we have met 35 percent of the first goal and 55
percent of the second. In addition, we have responded
to and are following up on 173 requests for assistance.
We anticipate that planned mailings to Fortune 1000
companies and aggressive promoti=of our materials and
arguments will lead to an increase in demand for our
services in the coming months.
As always, this report is divided~into~thxee
sections -- the first detailing,contacts made since our
January 1986 quarterly report; a second~on pending
contacts; the third on completed contacts.
