Which Laws Apply for Drug Test—State or Federal?
Thursday, February 26th, 2009The HR BLR has published an article called Which Laws Apply for Drug Test—State or Federal?
The scenario discussed is:
An Oklahoma truck driver ran off the road one night, causing the two trailers he was carrying to overturn. Supervisors called to the site noted that the driver’s eyes were red and required him to provide a urine sample for drug testing. The sample was split into two parts, and was tested separately. Both were positive, and he was fired. But he charged the company didn’t follow state law in its procedures, so he sued.
