ban employers from requiring pre-employment drug screening/drug screening without probable cause.

Created by J.S. on December 19, 2012

Pre-employment drug screening is completely intolerable. Someone looking for a employment should not be treated like a common parolee when trying to obtain employment. If that person is to obtain employment, and then gives the employer probable cause to drug test by being involved in an accident, fight, or being obviously impaired, then that is fine, but there should be a reason other than the person wanting a job. Furthermore, all testing that is done would have to prove the employee was under the influence while on the job. If someone uses substances (even illegal ones) off the clock and not on the property of the work place, it is none of the employer's concern. Employers already have enough power over employees. This petition is not demanding much.
