Pre employment drug screening is a joke, netting only really dumb pot smokers that likely aren't up for the job anyway, since it stays in the system far longer than any other drug. Random testing of non safety related workers is a clear intrusion, and illegal in most states.

I wonder what prompted this. Has their been an outbreak of stoned computer programmers, or something?

Question - does drug use affect quality of work?

School I use to work for hired a contractor (lowest bidder, of course) to replace all light fixtures in the entire district with “ultra high-efficiency florescent” fixtures. Well - that summer, while the crew was “on site”, I was on campus one evening about 7PM and found this crew all gathered up in the high school gymnasium all getting stoked up on pot.

Imagine the “surprise” when all those “great” lights installed began failing within months of the crew leaving. EVerything from fixtures that had been basically torn up to install them, to wiring that was done completely wrong... It was a nightmare for the maintenance department. When the school tried to hold the contractor responsible - they couldn’t be found. Again - imagine that.

Did the pot have anything to do with it?.... You tell me.

Perhaps not programmers, but, judging by their behavior I suspect that union leadership for sure, their bussed-about enforcers and intimidator goons, as well as teachers, and some police and firefighters in Madison and its environs.
