"Drug testing" is bullshit. Nobody should bend over for that kind of statist overreach. I won't even patronize businesses that do it.
I can't believe We the Sheeple just bent over for that shit and enabled it. Now look where we are. Good job, assholes. Way to stand up.
I gotta disagree with you in this one case. People operating heavy equipment, or any other position where less than100% concentration can cause great damage or death should always be subject to drug testing. That's not to say that across the board drug testing for everybody makes any sense at all, but a few specific cases should, and I think will always be appropriate for drug testing.
Except a "drug test" is not a concentration test. It's a chemical analysis, from which assumptions must be extrapolated.
Aye, there's the rub.
The liability that a company must take on is very high, one accident in a commercial vehicle can wipe an entire company out and put 100s out of work.
--- which is why such a test would be done after that accident, just as a breathalyzer test might be done on a driver. Makes sense. The difference is in the pre-emptive testing, when nothing has happened to show just cause.
Nomsayin'?
Do a job that doesn't require drug testing, that is your right.
Unless I'm being hired as a guinea pig to test drugs, no one has any reason or basis to invade one's bodily fluids.
