Reply to comment by Librekrieger in Washington Lawmakers Advance Legislation Barring Pre-Employment Tests for Cannabis by Important_Bad_9697

WA is an at will employment state. They can fire you if they believe you are impaired. There's no requirement for testing.

Wait why tf are we an “at will” employment state and why am I only just now learning about this?? We should definitely be lobbying our representatives to change that policy ASAP

The only state that isn't at will is Montana.

Big business owns WA state legislature. There's no chance of them passing reforms on that or allowing an initiative to change it.

Personly I like it. A person shouldn't need 30 reams of paper to prove a person's lack of suitability for a job. Its bad enough employers keep deadbeats on way too long as it is. Too afraid of lawsuits.
