EMPLOYERS, YOUR WORKERS KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T
A surprising number of retailers on the Coast do not drug-screen their
employees. The company I represent provides drug-screening services.
When I call upon prospective clients, I usually ask the first employee
I see: "Did you have a pre-employment drug screen?"
The vast majority say no, and many say they wish they had. I've seen
employees, managers and even cashiers roll their eyes and state that
drug screening was really needed in their place of employment.
It is a sad state of affairs when a company's employees recognize the
importance of a drug-free workplace more than the owners. Employers,
your workers know illegal drugs are on the job. Why don't you?
