Are you trying to say it
wouldn't be their fault?
The low paying jobs I had as a young man were filled with beer and drugs. The better, higher paying places - weren't.
Brock Yates mentions in one of his books that workers in a Chrysler plant in Youngstown liked to fool around, and were seen slapping trim on one handed, behind their backs, etc...
And my bud that worked in the Twinsburg stamping plant has some great stories about the drugs drinking drawing straws to see who was staying till closing time to clock out etc...
My dad worked a job in NYC. The HVAC guys on the roof had written right into their contract that they could have one beer with lunch. An enterprising local started selling these giant cans of beer to them.
By the end of the job the roof was littered with them
All that said piss tests are unfair to working men and I'll tell you why - an office guy and a warehouse guy hits a j at a weekend party.
Two weeks later, who's at risk of getting fired? The piss test is mandatory for a workplace accident. What's the chances of the office guy having a reportable accident vs the warehouse guy?
There is no way that it's a factor two weeks later. But the warehouse guy gets fired because he smushed a finger. And no workers comp!
A swab test reads back 2-4 days and is much more fair to the warehouse worker.
