New York City councilman wants companies to stop testing for marijuana

(1/2) > >>

Galaxy Admin:
NEW YORK CITY, New York – A New York City councilman has drafted legislation that would prohibit testing for marijuana by companies as a requirement for employment.

Jumanne Williams is sponsoring the legislation.

It would ban companies in the city from testing for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

There are exceptions to the rule. Those exceptions would be for safety and security sensitive jobs, including emergency responders and drivers.

The bill is in committee.

Last time I took a pee test and failed for cannabis, I had not ingested or smoked for over 2 months.  There should be a standardized test that says you are either high at work or not high at work. I've worked with people that come off a bender and come to work with alcohol emanating from their pores, but they could still pass a drug test, so still good to go as far work was concerned. I learned the hard way how long THC remains in your system; for me it was six months of being unemployable -without cheating. So much for starting a job using honesty as a common ground for a functional working relationship.

It's the insurance companies that want the pee tests, as far as I know--
In fact insurance companies are fucking things up for everyone. Ever wonder what
happened to those $5,000 mini trucks? Well add on an airbag $1,000 & up, add on the
SIR (supplemental restraint systems) and add on the knee airbags (required for all 2018)
and now you've added almost $5,000 just in airbags! My health insurance alone has quadrupled
since obamacare came out. All these insurance companies are getting rich and what they are selling
is an intangible object-- that is you cannot see it nor feel it

A lot of companies have quit nearly altogether, except for those pesky INSURANCE PURPOSES.

Impossible to field a labor force of any size if they didn't.
