npr.orgConcern not for the humans struggling horribly with drug addiction, but for the profit losses they may experience due to this issue. Typical capitalist bullshit. This makes me angry.

Frustrating, too, the idea that any use of a drug (I should say specific types of drugs) makes one unfit to work.
Employers should focus on whether the employee meets the terms of his contract. If he wants to use opioids and can manage his life while he does, the employer should have no right to discriminate against him.
I'm sure these employers complain about the lack of sober labor at the bar.

Look at all those pictures of the sad desperate employers who self describe themselves as 'victims' amid this crisis.
