In an epileptic man's suit over drug testing in the workplace, a federal judge has ruled that employers can be sued for wrongful discharge when their policy requires employees to disclose any prescription drugs they are taking, forcing them to reveal their medical conditions.
In her 32-page opinion in Rowles v. Automated Production Systems Inc., Chief U.S. District Judge Sylvia H. Rambo found that while employers have an interest in a productive and drug-free workplace, there must nevertheless be limits to drug testing."At some point, an individual's privacy interests trump an employer's efficiency concerns," Rambo wrote.Drug testing is like punishing a person for something they might do. We need to be responsible for our own actions but we shouldn't be drug tested, in my opinion!
