Rethinking
Drug Testing
Lewis Maltby insists drug testing
is a waste of money and doesn't make the workplace any safer.
His belief runs contrary to pre-employment policies most large
corporations and manufacturers have adopted over the past 20 years
or so. Maltby is president of the National Workrights Institute
and author of a newly released book called "Can They Do That?
Retaking Our Fundamental Rights in the Workplace." He claims
employers have been duped into believing that spending money on
drug screens is a wise investment. "If a drug test tells
you someone was coming to work stoned, it would be great in helping
safety and productivity, but it doesn't tell you that," says
Maltby, a former manufacturing executive and founder of the American
Civil Liberties Union's National Workplace Rights Office. "It
just tells you that the employee ingested some amount of a particular
drug at some undetermined point in time." Maltby says on-the-job
impairment tests are more effective alternatives to drug testing
because they measure the worker's current state of alertness (see
Impairment
Tests as a Drug-Screen Alternative). Of course, drug-testing
advocates contend substance-abuse screening is a cost-effective
way to reduce on-the-job accidents, improve productivity and cut
absenteeism
