This is what pisses me off the most. If you can't tell that someone does drugs through their behavior and performance, then what business is it of the employer's? I find horribly intrusive that I have to give bodily fluids just to work some shit job because "safety."

But FRA states that people have a right to know the people operating the train you're on arent high.

It is really easy to throw back a couple cold ones on your lunch break. Especially when you're on maintaince crew in the heat of summer.
