First Guy To Buy Legal In Washington? Fired From His Job

The company has what Burke called a “reasonable suspicion” drug-testing policy that calls for a urine sample when the company suspects its employees are under-the-influence on the job. Burke said the policy is for the safety of its employees.

This should be the model, if someone is doing something out of the ordinary on the job that makes someone suspect he's under the influence then in that case even I agree testing is fair, as long as the people making the judgment call on whether an employee is high or not has some training to judge such things.

Read it carefully.

He had two part time jobs. One of them, was a security company, and he was still fired because he didn't take the test because "He knew he would fail"


His second part time job, LaborReady, a part time temp agency, reinstated him when they found out he wasn't at work that day.

They originally fired him because they thought he was on line buying pot when he was supposed to be on the job.


This is the key excerpt :


"Boyer was also asked to take a drug test at Kodiak Security, another part-time employer, he said. He planned not to take the tests because he knew he’d fail, he said Wednesday.

When Boyer contacted LaborReady to tell them he’d taken the day off Tuesday to stand in line, Burke said the company rescinded its demand for a drug test.

“Under the law, he can do that,” Burke said.

Very carefully............

I502 was passed to make money. it's plain and simple. everyone got all excited about legalizing weed they were too blind to see how flawed the law was and it should've been resubmitted and rewritten. patience my friends! people who didn't smoke weed, passed it because of all the tax money that was to come in.

I stopped smoking and was being tested for a while. I am a big guy, with extra fat, and it took me almost 3 solid months before the pot was out of my system. Spiked a couple times around 2 weeks and a month and everybody thought I was smoking again. Just the way the body works for us big fella's.

When I was on paper took me 6 fucking months to drop clean lol...

Well he is the one who signed that contract. If you sign a contract no matter what it is you are responsible for what you signed. If he wasnt going to live up to it thats on him. The way corporate america works they could have fired him for taking the day off for no good reason.
If you call off work to go to the game dont get yerself on the kisscam lol.

"" He admits he signed a contract promising to NEVER have it in his system.""

OK, fair enuf. Shouldn't have ever signed such a contract..! haha..

Would be excellent if the whole staff walked - if not for a day - in protest, but not bloody likely when people are kept as economic-slaves. The Emm Ohh of the Yoo Ess Ay.

It will be entertaining, I can see, with all the buffoons entering this industry in the next 5 years. I am enjoying the comedy now. Before it bothered me.

Why don't we just boycott business that are against marijuana use? A sticker of a leaf on the door indicates that you are pot friendly and trust your employees enough to not drug test for pot.

I would gladly only shop at those places of business.
