    Absolutely horrible but they should absolutely warn people about foods that can make them false positive before any drug tests.

          That is such an American take. In my country there are three professions in which the employer can mandate a drugtest: train operator, pilots and captains. Everybody else is in their legal right to (and should) deny a drugtest. What you do in your spare time is none of your employers business.

              Nope. By law only employees within the three professions I described above have to comply when asked to take a drugs test. No other profession can be forced to take one.

              That’s not to say that a bus driver driving irratically will never be tested - the police can still mandate a drugs test when suspected of DUI and you’d have to comply.

                That’s insane to me. I’m all for not drug testing the guy working at McDonald’s, but anyone overseeing the safety of others sends like a common sense group to test.

          Are you insane? This whole thread is insane. The fact that you are OK with this makes this insane.

            The factor in common is public safety. In the case of giving birth there is a new extremely vulnerable member of the public. It’s at least reasonable that the hospital needs to know

              If the baby was born with obvious signs of drug use by the mother then you might have a case. But drug testing every single woman who gives birth is excessive and fascist.

              If hospitals are doing this, women are going to stop trusting them to deliver their babies and start giving birth at home with the aid of a midwife instead.

      She had a salad, an “everything” salad. Poppy seeds are just a minor everyday ingredient and it would to just not even think of them. Even knowing. Even being warned.

      Warning is not enough.

      No, the contrary: everyone should increase false positives to render these tests worthless & make laughingstocks of contemptible processes depending on them.

        It’s like how I just read that 300+ people were arrested at a protest (of I think 500). Either way, when is it that just everyone in town is arrested?
