Re: drug test - private employer?

You are wrong about the water flushes. Some labs detect that
through low creatin and the absence or low levels of other
chemicals that should be present in your urine. I know a few
probation officer who get kind of ticked off when that happens.

To answer your law firm questions, as a solo practioner, I run
my firm. So I don't make me take a drug test, ramdomly or for
good cause. I suppose I could. But I sure would be upset with
me if I did. I might even quit, resign, shut down the office
and lay me off. That would teach me a fat lesson about employee
rights.
