To Whom It May Concern,

I was recently contacted by your company for possible employment as a technical service representative in Woonsocket, RI. I'm very interested in this position, but was troubled by the company's position on pre-employment drug testing. I feel this is a violation of privacy, not to mention the 4th amendment, It doesn't really portray a trusting releationship between employer and employee, more of a 'guilty until proven otherwise' feel. Ten years of research has shown that drug tests do not pay dividends in decreased accidents and absenteeism or increased efficiency and productivity. Alcoholism and lack of sleep cause the majority of workplace accidents and loss of productivity, yet neither of these show up in drug tests. There are alternatives that don't invade employees rights and privacy, Hand-eye coordination testing, and Eye/retina scan. Performance testing is a daily skills test which tests the reflexes and performance ability of your employees for today and today only. Unlike drug testing, Performance testing IS Constitutionally friendly and does NOT differentiate between the legal or illegal drug user, the alcoholic, the stressed, the sick, or the tired and fatigued. Performance testing catches those high risk employees no matter what their private life styles are.
If you ever decide to rethink your policy, I'd love to discuss employment options.
