[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1085265, member: 45493"] If this is a common perception, then why are there drug tests at all? Would you feel safe flying on a plane that a heroine addict who is a convicted felon load planned? Multiply that by 10,000 and you will find a whole lot more errors than a successfully screened load planner. I'm not directly disagreeing with what you are saying....I actually feel the same way. But when we try to look at it realistically on the scale that UPS has to deal with, and the numbers won't add up. If any huge company found the need/cost ratio justifiable to implement a piss test, I can promise you it is to increase the quality of applicants more than any other reason. It's the nature of large numbers. I may not agree with it, along with you, in my particular situation but that's how things are. It's undeniable. There are reasons why poverty, drug usage, and crime all increase in tandem with one another. There are always exceptions....but, as with everything else, you plan for the norm. [/QUOTE]
