justinb138 0 #152 June 8, 2005 QuoteBecause if your in a job that has any danger to it, what is the first thing that happens if there is an accident and OSHA shows up. It is my company's policy to send people for a drug test if they are involved in an accident, mainly for insurance purposes. It doesn't mean they should randomly test people all the time, and they don't, unless they have a compelling reason to. Lets imagine another example, without any illegal drugs (weed, coke, etc..) Have you ever taken any prescription drugs that weren't yours? Would you agree that if someone had a sore back or something and took some vicodin a friend had to help get to sleep one night that it wouldn't hurt anything? Wouldn't it suck to get selected for a random drug test a week or so later and get fired for something that had absolutely no impact on your ability to do your job? I don't use any illegal drugs, hell I rarely even drink. What I do in my house is my own business, not my employers, provided it does not impact my ability to do my job. Can I make it any clearer?

And if you want to know about freedom just go look up my military career at what I did to help freedom. It's all part of public records so if you want to take the time be my guess! Doesn't mention drugs, but it is called the 4th Amendment. Something like this: QuoteThe right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Ron 7 #172 June 8, 2005 QuoteI see no compelling reason to randomly drug test people that do not appear to be under the influence of drugs. There have been several listed...But I'll recap some of them for you: 1. Insurance regulations. Some insurance companies will not cover you unless you have a testing program in place, or offer lower rates if you have one. 2. Regulation from "higher". Airline employees have random drug tests since they are required by the FAA. Trucking companies have random tests since the DOT requires it. Both valid reasons. And it still stands...If you hate them so much, don't do them, but be willing to be denied jobs, or fired from your present one."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
