Corporations are run like communist countries and they love to set wages by ANY means available.”””

NEVER owned your own business, did you ???

Your comment clearly states WHY.

Next time you want a pair of jeans or some underwear, go to your nearest TAILOR & have them made for you. GOOD LUCK.

When hamburger meat prices double over 10 years does McDonald’s go out of business? HELL NO.___

Mo, but the price of a McDonald’s burger certainly has tripled since they opened the doors.

I am old enough to remember well the first McDonald’s. Most people today bitching about how much they are being paid are not aware of how profits are calculated.

The quick and dirty answer is that in many cases the drug-testing requirement comes from the Feds.

The business must have various kinds of insurance.

Those insurance companies are stetting the standard .....

There are many places whee you cannot smoke any longer.

Hospitals—medical clinics—certain kinds of packaging-—restaurants-—

I don’t even let anyone smoke in my house or my car. MY property—MY rules.

Don’t like it? Keep moving on down the road. I don’t need you in my life.

When the price of thread goes up does the tailor go out of business? NO. When the cost of labor goes up why do corps demand and bribe for more immigrants, both legal and illegal?

Business hate the minimum wage ( a wage floor ) but does everything in their power to create a wage ceiling. This is why the GOP, the willing accomplice, has a tough time maintaining majorities.

Because the old alcoholics & the new druggies in Congress would mean it would be almost empty in an hour.

I can believe that stat.

Those 30 persons who couldn’t pass the drug tests demanded are ONLY available on the employment market because they couldn’t PASS the drug test in Other places they applied.

The dramatic rise of drugs is everywhere. Half the parents in the USA don’t know their kids are on something. Half of those parents are using something themselves.

Drinking is legal but drinking at work or being high from drinking, and then showing up for work ... is not allowed. That’s how. Safety comes first, and a clear head is necessary.

I believe in New Jersey, if you have a school bus Driver CDL, you can never blow anything higher then a 0, if you do, you are legally drunk and will get a DUI and loss of license (and job). This applies even on a Friday night on your own time. Cop pulls you over, or you go through a check point, anything higher then a 0, you are done.

I believe the law also applies to all CDL drivers in general as well.

You pop positive for Jack Danial’s or Bud Light and you were fired on the spot, or not hired if it was a pre-employment screen.

The huge difference is if you wait a few hours, that Jack Daniels or Bud Light won't show up in a screening. Same with Cocaine, Heroin, Meth, etc. With pot, you're looking at up to 30-90 days for it to clear. It's not a fair process, and if a state is legal and the employee or candidate is doing it on their own time, an oversensitive test shouldn't disqualify them.

I would like to figure out how I can rent a building/house & know that the renter isn’t using drugs. I don’t need the headaches.

Within a month after they move in call the Fire Marshall for the yearly walk thru inspection.

3 weeks later have the county appraiser come over for a walk thru current $$ value of the property for accurate tax assessment.

2 weeks later I am sure the zoning enforcement officer will need to stop buy to check on your toilet flow restrictors......

I heard the Denver regional bus system did a drug screen and had to fire a lot of drivers. Now the routes are screwed up because they don’t have enough drivers.

“They will change the law so you have to hire potheads. Yes. They have already made it compulsory to hire felons. This is coming.”

And the country keeps swirling down the toilet...

Forget the flowers it’s all about the chocolate

Seriously

And if you don’t want the THC try CBD

It’s not for everyone but it’s for a lot of people

Again it is not about the flowers they’re pretty and they smell good but you shouldn’t smoke anything boys and girls

Some people understand a lot more about drug use than they do workplace safety and related laws.

I really don’t want to work in a place where people that aren’t 100% are even less so but are still driving heavy equipment that can kill in a heartbeat. I don’t think the insurance companies would want much of that either.

You see, maybe not, all these little freedoms do do as you want end at the nose of the person who is free do do them. When freedoms of choice begin to interfere and endanger the lives of mine and me they have to be contained.

Smoke all the pot you want, drink all you want but keep all the effects of that at home and don’t expect me to pay for your not being wanted in the workplace.
