We demand to be taken seriously

Was involved at company where a fish processing plant in Alaska was audited, looking at payroll issues. They passed that but the auditor noted the 140 hour work weeks likely involved amphetamines. Which we weren’t looking for, but I was curious if that is extremely common in meat plants?

Are there industries where abstaining from drug use is unusual? I heard (second hand) that in WA state after pot was legalized a major retailer had issues where before legalization being trained on a forklift was a good career move. But the company followed federal laws meaning no pot ever, so if a forklift operator was involved in even a minor incident and had used several days before, instant termination.

This was leading to fewer people wanting to be trained as forklift operators to avoid regular drug tests, and booming construction meant if someone didn’t use pot but could operate power equipment, they’d likely switch to construction as they could pass the screening.
