REQUIRED DRUG TESTING FOR EMPLOYEES AND STAFF MEMBERS OF NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS?

Submitted by jerleen1 on August 26, 2009 - 9:02pm.

Many companies especially social institutions that deal with the public require representatives, staff and employees to take periodic drug tests.  With the many CDC's and non profit community organizations in the City of Cleveland,  why have they been skipped over when it comes to peeing in a cup.  

Certain recognizable actions are tale tale signs that drug usage could be on the rise inside some of these establishments throughout the city.  

Is it time to impose higher standards among staff members, employees and executives holding themselves out as representatives of these neighborhood organizations? 

With no safe guards in place, what better location to disguise the abuse of illegal substances?

Why are these private non-profit conglomerates afforded the unquestionable privilege of sainthood?

drug testing

 When a bus driver plows someone down, or a pilot crashes their plane, then drug testing happens.  Like you say, some corporations do it routinely, but is that good policy vs. doing it when someone's actions warrant a test?

This topic is covered in many personnel polices. Those policies may be available if you ask for it (or since you are Jerleen, have someone do it for you, lol). But I gotta ask since you said :  "Certain recognizable actions are tale tale signs that drug usage could be on the rise inside some of these establishments throughout the city." what are you speaking of, my dear fellow southern lady?

Debbie,

Straight talk:  If you happen to be in the know, know your area, know your surroundings, know who's going, know who's coming, pay attention to traffic patterns, pay attention to mood swings, body language  and most of all - listen - you would be suprised at what you can hear, pick up and track.  When people are talking on cell phones, they're not always as quiet as they think they are.

If you really listen, you can learn the language and codes for who's calling, what they're looking for, etc.

Trust me- they need to require drug testing in a number of private non-profit organizations.  Need I say more.
