Testing for criminality by proxy of narcotic abuse, at the start of employment, would sound odd if it didn’t so obviously resemble a power play. I’ve never had one though: what’s the positive story for having urine testing at work? Jobs where you need a real test for criminality (e.g. working with children) outsource crime detection to the government of course. FBI Criminal Justice Information Service et al. Fork lift drivers (even the electric ones \wink) get breathalyzed before a shift. Those seem like the grown up, non-theatre approaches.
