Furthermore, since power plant employees already have stressful jobs which require them to monitor the electricity, air conditioning, heat, and steam that is supplied to the entire Air Force Base, the elimination of smoking there would add even more stress.
Furthermore, a new air conditioning ventilation system which cost approximately $130,000 has been installed in the control room which exceeds Air Force regulations for adequate ventilation.
The Employer is the headquarters for the 2nd Satellite Tracking Group, which operates, maintains, and manages a worldwide satellite tracking station network supporting the Department of Defense, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and allied nations, as well as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's space shuttle program.
