Alberta Court of Appeal ruling upholds construction workplace drug testing

EDMONTON - Construction and energy companies are praising an Alberta court ruling that upholds the right of employers to test workers in safety-sensitive jobs for drugs.

The Alberta Court of Appeal has overturned an earlier judgment that said Kellogg, Brown & Root Company (KBR) discriminated against a man when it fired him from an oilsands project near Fort McMurray after he tested positive for marijuana.

The employee, who admitted to being a recreational pot smoker, filed a complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission, which ruled against him.

A Court of Queen's Bench justice then ruled in his favour, saying he shouldn't have been fired because he should have been treated the same as someone with a drug addiction, which is considered a disability in human rights case law.

So now being a recreational pot smoker is a drug addiction.. and a disability.
Oh well , can't complain when it helps a fellow smoker get his job back !
