Don't Let Them Get Away With It

The courts in Alberta have ruled that a company can fire an employee for giving(under threat of losing job)a dirty urine test.The court ruled that such a person would,like a cab or truck driver,be a danger on the jobsite.This precedent setting case,if allowed to stand.Would mean that any employer could demand a drug test as a condition of employment.It would also mean that,even in the absence of any test that can show any but up to 45 day exposure.Even though there's no way to show casual or active exposure.That any one in Canada could be fired for exposure to marijuana smoke,no matter how casual or accidental that may be.Let the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission know that you want this case appealed.
