Reply #3: I don't know why random drug testing is allowed and encouraged

[Nikia]

From what I've read and heard, random drug testing is encouraged on the federal level. The administration would like to see every employee subject to random testing. Even though drug use is illegal (although by varying degrees by state, with in some states it being equivalent to a speeding ticket), it is unjust for an employer to dictate what an employee can do outside of work hours. Even if it could be argued that the company has an interest that their employees never use drugs, it is unjust for them to have a system that carries out an active investigation on all employees. Why is subjecting employees to urine tests any different than requesting that random home searches be conducted on employees? Why isn't drug use considered a protected health issue anyway?
As far as these and other issues, the Bush admininistration won't be favorable to any laws that gives the employer less of an advantage. Many legislators have this position too. Unfortunately, the economy encourages people to seek employment at places with lots of unfair restrictions. Facism is a system of both government and corporate control, which Bush and company is hoping to achieve in the U.S.
