This law was written by our local congressman because of a couple of incidences here in S.E. Oklahoma. The Weyerhauser company did a surprise drug check on the employees vehicles in the parking lot (on company property). The dog hit on a pickup truck. When it was searched, they did not find drugs, they did find wintergreen chewing tobacco which the dog was convinced was drugs. However, they also found an unloaded rifle behind the seat. The employee was fired. Then, a couple of weeks later, they did a surprise search of every vehicle on the lot. Several of them had guns in them. All of the employees with guns in their vehicles were fired. Most of them had been with the company SEVERAL years. They anounced that they would conduct random searched daily. All hell broke loose & the employees started parking along side the highway in the bar ditch (off company property) in protest. The law, as written, would allow employees fired for having a gun in their vehicle to sue to get their job back & back pay. James
Although it's just an anonymous poster, it sounds as though employees are exercising the right to park off-property.
The locals required the company to provide parking, because of the obvious reasons. If you're going to operate a buisiness that requires folks to travel to it, then you need to provide for parking.
