Well, if you're going to be operating forklifts and heavy equipment that can kill you, it's a liability. The company Artie worked for had a drunk/crankster working and literally almost killed himself. The tox-screen posted and his numbers were through the roof. He found himself almost dead and without a job. Can you blame the company? No, it was his stupid ass for using on the job. Now, this doesn't mean he's a recreational user by any means, so I can see what you are saying, Sabz, but still, I see from both ends why they'd want to do one. Personally, I don't care. I've never been tested for a job. Even if they said I had to, I wouldn't care because I'd pass. Sure, maybe some say 'well, you should because it's an invasion of privacy.' But so is a telemarketer calling my house... so is someone I don't want coming over paying me a visit. These are benign. Now, if they want to check my credit (which some are doing) then I really have a problem. WTF does my credit have to do with my ability to work?
