Shouldn't matter for a dispatcher. Might have been a driver on light duty.
Although they do not regularly drug test office personnel, it is still against company policy to use drugs no matter what position you are in. They are still subject to a drug test when the company thinks they may be using.
Hired at will, subject to anything the company wants to subject them to. That would include discharge just for suspicion without drug test.
i would bet any amount of money that what you are saying maybe right technically, i would bet the farm that if r&l were to fire someone for suspicion without being tested, they would get sued period. and i guarantee you they would lose. there are things that can legally be done to protect people from nonsense like that om employers. im not saying in every instance, but accusing someone of being intoxicated, this firing them without proof would be one.
besides that i doubt r&l would do that anyway. im the last to stick up for them, but i know other people who got in similar jams and r&l actually did at least give them the option of getting help
Dennis. yes he was fired for pill popping. i heard it in his voice all the time as a customer. drivers knew what was going on. sending multiple drivers to same locations. heard he was so stoned he came in the to work the following day after getting canned cos he didnt realize he got fired. in the end lets just hope he gets back on his feet and quits abusing narcotics.
