Re: New TTC staff face drug tests (May 30). There are more humane ways of dealing with substance issues in the workplace, ways that do not violate a person's right to privacy from intrusion by the state or employer.
Drug testing means you have to prove your innocence whether or not
there exists reasonable grounds to suspect.
One could say if you aren't using drugs, then what do you have to
fear? You have much to fear, the greatest loss: your right to privacy.
I am reminded of McCarthyism, for this is what it is.
