Especially if most places are a right to work, I think that if there wasn't a right to work, and
someone wanted to get their employee fire, they should drug test them. The chances of today's drug
use is higher than ever! |

I think its okay to do if its a serious job not like McDonald's or burger king have get high that's
what lives made for |

Cephus makes a good point "Absolutely. An employer has a right to expect their employees to show up
for work unimpaired and able to function" If an impaired employee makes a mistake the company would
be liable. |

I would say so, because the employer needs to know that their employee is no danger to the public or
themselves. |

They should have to take drug tests. I don't want the guy whose serving me at burger king to be
going and smoking crack on his break. |
| |

It should be allowed, but only if there is sufficient evidence to warrant a test. If employers can
do it as they please it would be a severe violation of a persons rights in my opinion. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Only if the employer has reasonable belief that the employee is taking drugs that infringe on there
ability to carry out there duties properly. |

Yes, if the Employer has reason to believe that an Employees poor performance is down to drugs.
It's as simple as that!
If the Employee is guilty, then it serves them right, but if they are innocent, then they should
have nothing to worry about and perhaps other reasons for their poor performance should be
investigated.
If the innocent Employee objects to the testing and wishes to take action, they should have the
right, but rigorous guidelines should be drawn up setting out when it is and isn't acceptable to ask
an Employee to take a drug test. |

Yes it is a very good thing to do because someone could have a mass media corporation that they
could sell drugs out of |
| |
|

|
Yes a good thing to do |

Yes would you want someone watching your kids while under the influence of drugs. |

Absolutely. An employer has a right to expect their employees to show up for work unimpaired and
able to function. That means that employees cannot show up drunk. Employers also have the right to
hire employees that are honest and have integrity and who follow the law, especially since the
employer expects the employee to follow their rules. Therefore, employers often run criminal
background checks and drug tests to make sure they're hiring reputable, credible and respectable
people. Even if the job doesn't directly rely on a non-impaired employee, there's nothing wrong
with making sure that the employee has respect for authority and the rules. |

Because employees are often given tasks that can harm others (or themselves) if botched, I think
it's wise for employers to require testing. Bus drivers, health professionals, even those in food
service, for example, need to be able to think clearly. |

Given the nature of society today, drug testing is quite the norm. I find it to be an invasion of
personal privacy, BUT, for the health, safety and welfare of others, it is necessary. |

What i do is my own business if it doesnt affect my job i say no |
| |
|

I guess they have the right to ask but I would never work for somebody who did. A company’s only
concern in my opinion is my job performance. If my performance is not up to their standards they may
fire me. What I do in my own time is none of their concern. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Only if the job includes driving or saving lives ,other wise i don't see any harm. |
| |

It's a gross violation of personal privacy to demand that employees undergo a drugs test. If an
employee's performance is unsatisfactory, he or she should be disciplined as necessary. Whether the
unsatisfactory performance arises because of drug use, alcohol use, natural incompetence, too much
time spent reading the bible or whatever is completely immaterial.
The only circumstances where it might be reasonable for an employer to demand a drugs test are in
those rare situations where an employee literally holds the lives of others in his hands - as is the
case, for example, with airline pilots - and where there is a basis for reasonable suspicion that
illegal drugs have been used, such as the pilot being seen staggering around with hazed over eyes
just before he gets on the plane. |

Unless it's a job such as cab driving or the like, i really don't think employers should have the
right.
What people do in their own time is upto them, however if their drug use impairs their work, then
there are suitable grounds for dismissal. |
