Federal Drug Testing Law
There is no federal law of general applicability to employment which requires employers to adopt a so called "zero tolerance" policy with respect to drug testing. In fact, at least one federal law, the Americans with Disabilities Act, could be read as not tolerating "zero tolerance."
"Zero Tolerance" is a great sounding slogan, but, the fact is, where ever it has been applied, it creates a lot of unfairness. Zero tolerance is just plain stupid.
