wps said: corporate drug testing is just another form of cultural bias in the job market, ie moneyed conservatives using their economic resources to starve out anyone that doesn't fit into their idea of what the average worker should be.
If you get drunk after work everyday and watch football, you're hired.
If you smoke pot and go to drum jams... no employment for you.
the end result is that a certain type of worker flourishes, and anyone else starves.
I agree. I've always found it ironic that most of the work I've missed over the years was due almost exclusively to hangovers never due to drug use. These were jobs where I passed the pre employment drug test for using fake piss. It would be kind of funny because after I miss a day and come back and people would ask me where I was and I tell them I was hungover. They all laugh and make a big joke about it. But if I tell them I came in high today or smoked a bowl on my lunch brake it's a big deal. Just another unproductive pointless double standard of society.

All this time I'm thinking about TESTING DRUGS... not DRUG TESTING
Yeah, I was gonna say something, but I was stoned at the time and wasn't sure which of us was confused.

I wasn't gonna stop him. He was on a roll.
If you don't like a company's drug policy DON'T WORK THERE.

There was a health insurance company I heard of a few years ago that told employees who SMOKED that they had 1 year to quit.. after that they'd get canned..
Now... thre's a really grey area....

Not grey at all. It's their company, they can do whatever they want.

I agree with "its their decision" mentality. No one's forcing them to be employees.
but depends... if it's a public company or not. Couldn't that kind of company have a stockholder vote to veto something like that

I'm excited for when Hillary care denies coverage for smokers.

That's the point where I'll get pretty pissed. I'm not a smoker anymore, but this whole social engineering bullshit that the Democrats try to pull.. pisses me off.

Conservatives pull that shit too, they just don't use the government as much to do it.
-------------------- "America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve." - Tom Morello

Conservatives just try to amend the constitution with their social engineering ideas.
