* Drug Testing in the Workplace -- ACLU Briefing Paper #5

Answers these questions:

Don't employers have the right to expect their employees not to be
      high on drugs on the job?
Can urine tests determine precisely when a particular drug was used?
If you don't use drugs, you have nothing to hide--so why object to testing?
Are drug tests reliable?
Still, isn't universal testing the best way to catch drug users?
But shouldn't exceptions be made for certain workers, such as airline
      pilots, who are responsible for the lives of others?
Drug use costs industry millions in lost worker productivity each
      year. Don't employers have a right to test as a way of protecting
      their investment?
Have any courts ruled that mandatory urine testing of government
      employees is a violation of the constitution?
If the constitution can't help them, how can private employees protect
      themselves against drug testing?
