NECESSARY CHECK
I do not understand why everyone is making such a big deal over drug
testing. In the last 15 years I have had three jobs, and each one of
them required I take a drug test before being employed. None of them
put me in charge of someone's safety, and only one of them was
dealA-ing with critical financial information of clients of the business.
Why are government employees being put up as 'above' us regular
employees when in fact they should be held to higher standards because
it is our tax dollars paying their salary?
If they are not doing anything wrong, it is not an invasion of their
privacy because the drug test will show they are 'clean' and they get
on with the job at hand. If they are doing drugs, they shouldn't be
getting my tax dollars.
