Fired for Cannabis Impairment at Work? What Recourse Do You Have?
Honestly, I'm fine with people being fired for actual impairment on the job, just like if someone came to work drunk. But simply testing positive for cannabis that could have been consumed days or even weeks ago does not in any way imply actual impairment. Thus I do NOT support drug testing that fails to distinguish between the two. Saliva tests are much better in that regard than urine tests, or perhaps even the DRUID app.
