Question:

Is drug testing at work right?

Is it ethical for employers to implement a company policy in which all employees are required to and may be subjected to random drug testing?

Answer:

Slice the potatoes thin and wrap in foil with thin slices of onion, butter and s pTime is all about the fireKeep in mind that potatoes do take some time anyway you cook um.
just slice them with onion salt pepper and butter wrap in foil put on the grill for 15 to 20 min turning once in a while so they don't burn now they are doneenjoy.
Wash and peelSlice them very thinPlace in aluminum foilPour a small amount of water over themAdd some butter and seasoningWrap up the aluminum foilPlace on grill for about 40 minutes.
I would cut up the potatoes with a little onion and green pepper and cook them in foil packs also bably 30 minutes or so
I would have to say that it depends on the nature of the work and on what is being tested forFor any employer where safety critical functions are being performed (which are many more then you would at first think), and provided they are testing for things that can effect judgement on the job site, then sure I would hate to be on a job site with a fork truck driver with impaired judgement (That sort of accident typically injures people other then the driver)Similarly for crane operators, delivery drivers, riggers, electricians, machine operators, deck crewWhat you do in your own time is your affair, (and none of mine as the employer) but as soon as you bring it onto my job site (in your blood or your pocket, it matters not to me) you make it my problemI include alcohol in 'drug' for these purposes (but that is normally out of the system overnight, so not my problem)For administrative convenience I would tend to apply this to all staff, rather then just the subset doing safety critical work at any given time, after all even the accounts administrator may have to visit site on occasion Now, there may be jobs that can never involve any sort of serious safety of others considerations, where this may not appropriate, but unless the employer knows absolutely in advance of hiring that this is (and always will be) the case then writing it into the contract makes sense even if the employer then does not actually do the tests at the present timeJust my take on itRegards, Dan.
