is what is used to determine if someone is under the influence. Blood, urine, and hair ca prove use, but not "intoxication" or "being under the influence".
What I found interesting was that someone could be fired for being an addict, or acting like an addict by using drugs. I have always thought of addiction as a disease that could be treated. In this case, why didn't the Teamsters require that their member receive counseling after this accident. Even if the worker had a pot px, counseling should be required to make sure that the pot px using worker is using his medication in the safest way possible.
The worker should have also notified his employee of his medication. I assume in the case referred to, this did not happen.
Interesting read.
