Scott, I have read the entire previous retort, You probably will not
understand my comment. You have NO right to work, NO right to a job, NO
right to feed your kids. Instead, you have the privilege of opportunity.
Your acceptance of an employment offer is an agreement to provide a service
to your employer in a stated fashion. If you choose to accept a job that
requires drug testing, you are going to work for someone who might fire you
if you test positive. You have the right to take legal action if you feel
you have been mistreated per your agreement and/or any civil rights
violation. As for your family, was your choice to become responsible for
others. You should have done so with a reasonable concept of what it would
take to pay for the care of others. The fourth amendment applies to the
government, not to any organization that you waive that right for. Illegal
search and seizure is only illegal if you have not consented to it, and only
if it the action is taken by government. If I search your home and find
drugs and take them, I have committed burglary. If you are my employee and I
tell you that you cannot have the job unless you agree to testing then I am
only offering you a job with stipulations. It is your choice to take the
job. The reason that some jobs and some unions of workers do not have to
take drug tests is that they are either too much in demand ( a workers
market), or they have legal representation that has come to an agreement
with the prospective employers. They are all subject to stipulations of
their agreements of employment and/unions.
If you feel otherwise, and I think you do, you don't understand how
cruel of a world we actually live in. Yet, we live in the best country in
the world, with the most privileges and most opportunities. If you feel that
testing does not work, you are free to conduct reaserach and show your
results and have others debate the validity of those results. If you want no
testing on the job site, start your own shop and hire anyone you wish.-EZ
