They sent a group of us non-union workers to go “help” union workers before the union workers went on strike and then again after they went on strike. Let’s just say that the union job got done a lot better all around by the non-union workers. So well in fact, that their were a pile of grievances filed that all ended up in a big trash can.

That type of test reaches back in time 48-72 hours. I found it to be accurate back as far as 96 hours. You'd hear some real screaming from boozers if that occurred.

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted October 21, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 21, 2021 Definitely one of the downers about weed (no pun) is that it can stay in your system for an extended period of time. Sticks to fat cells or something. Most of the other fun stuff is out in 24 hours or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they do in some circumstance's, many Companies have rules you must follow even while not at work, that is if you wish to continue to work there. So you believe truckers can have illegal substances in the blood if it's against work rules? Drivers could sue them if that's the case.

No worries for the UAW folks though. These companies don’t want to fight that battle. They will just make their salaried employees do it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
