You mean they paid the price of authoritarianism in the workplace, facilitated by lemmings who bend over for that shit.
It is ironic though that such control-freakism cost them half their joint talent. They shot themselves in the foot for the sake of ego-tripping.
Actually they were fired due to Federal DOT standards. Standards that have been in place for decades, including the entire careers of all five employees. They somehow thought a state regulation superseded Federal Regulations.
The three who weren’t hired all knew about the requirements before applying for the job.
I have no sympathy for any of them.
What you have none of is cognizance of wtf this is about, This is a wrongful termination case.
I'm getting the impression not a single one o' y'all bothered to read the OP article.
Everyone read the article. You're simply wrong.
Clearly you didn't. It's obviously easier to go "you're wrong" and STILL not bother to read the article, which clearly states the state law about discrimination.
Too funny.
Pogo's Axiom: "I have met the enemy, and he is me."
Billy's Bullshit: "Oh duh yes SIR mister Big State may I please have yet another boot to lick. YUM".
From the OP article, since you're too stupid to read it:
>> Section 36-2813 of the AMMA reads, in part:
B. Unless a failure to do so would cause an employer to lose a monetary or licensing related benefit under federal law or regulations, an employer may not discriminate against a person in hiring, termination or imposing any term or condition of employment or otherwise penalize a person based upon either:
1. The person’s status as a cardholder.
2. A registered qualifying patient’s positive drug test for marijuana components or metabolites, unless the patient used, possessed or was impaired by marijuana on the premises of the place of employment or during the hours of employment. <<
Again --- state law. Again, federal law has no jurisdiction here.B.

Again --- you think you can just blow off the actual background and argue Appeal to Emotion based on the expectation that nobody else did their homework either. Again, that ain't happening on my watch.
