ALBERTA LABOUR MINISTER WANTS DRUG TESTS AT WORK
Alberta's labour minister wants a law allowing random drug tests in
the workplace.
Clint Dunford says more employees are impaired on the job and he would
like to see mandatory testing for drugs and alcohol within five years.
The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees -- the province's largest
union -- says testing should only be done if there's a problem.
Industry is urging caution, saying there should be a balance between
individual and employer rights.
