The company I represent provides drug-screening services. When I call upon prospective clients, I usually ask the first employee I see: "Did you have a pre-employment drug screen?" The vast majority say no, and many say they wish they had. I've seen employees, managers and even cashiers roll their eyes and state that drug screening was really needed in their place of employment. It is a sad state of affairs when a company's employees recognize the importance of a drug-free workplace more than the owners. Employers, your workers know illegal drugs are on the job. Why don't you? Hal White Gulfport - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
