Most states are employment “at will” states. Which means you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all so long as it is not an illegal reason. Despite the hysteria over protected classes it is still easy to fire someone especially if they white, male, under 40, Christian, and not disabled.

So I can fire you for alcohol comsumption or for drinking coffee.

Employers are free to restrict many things that are legal and can do many things that people consider “unconstitutional”. If you do not like it you are of course free to quit.

And that totally sucks. Gives the employer all the cards and the employee an empty hand. So far, only Montana, AFAIK, has had the good sense to go to a “just cause” system, which, by the way, is prevalent throughout most of the advanced world, notably Western Europe. If we don’t like unions, then what else can the working stiff do to protect his own interest—and don’t you dare say find another job, not in this economy~
