if you're clean you don't have a problem...Employers make the rules of who they wish to work for them...As it should be.

@HerKing It’s about guilty till proven innocent

@MrBrownstone what's wrong with that?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HoraceGreenley Are you unamerican?
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone No it isn't at all.. I've had drug checks, no one said to me I was guilty and had to prove my innocence. But it's a condition of the contract that a) you have the test and b) be clean...You don't accept that, you're free to not take the job, simple.

@HerKing it’s about a nurse shouldn’t be watching me pee because I’m trying to get a job

@HerKing I have to agree with you. If you can’t pass a drug test than maybe you pass on that particular job.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@MrBrownstone Nope. But there is no Constitutional right to be hired by a company.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing Do you get pulled over all the time to show you are not driving drunk?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HoraceGreenley Actually you are unamerican
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone I have seen guys fired on the spot, escorted from the building for being drunk..Game over, do not pass go...I don;t want anyone not in full control working with me, ever.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing How would drug test prevent that?
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone because if they're positive they won't be working with me...What is difficult to understand?

@HerKing what about when they are off the clock
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone Someone is unAmerican because they won;t tolerate employing someone who is under the influence? And would you feel that way if that person was responsible for you or someone close being injured [i]because [/i]they weren't in control of themselves?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing Drugs and drinking are two different substances. Glad I don’t work for you.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing When are you going to answer my question?
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone You wouldn't work for me, so no problem.
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone What question? It's simple..REALLY simple. Take the test..pass..employed..fail...you're not with this company...
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing Especially since you don’t know the difference between drugs and alcohol.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing Wrong question. Take a breath and calm down. I know you think you are right.
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone I am right. What is your objection to the test to establish a company's right to select its employees?
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone Drugs,alcohol? They're both drugs..If either are being used at work then it's game over..
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing I don’t assume people are guilty till proven innocent. Have you figured out the difference between alcohol and drugs yet?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@HerKing Unfortunately for you alcohol doesn’t appear on a drug test. Any more bullshit you wish to say?
HerKing · 61-69, M
@MrBrownstone How do you establish then if someone is using drugs that is counter to the employment being offered?
