<abstract displayLabel="Summary">In corporate America, the concept of drug testing in the workplace has come back with a Positive. Most people probably would rather sit though an unproductive meeting than fill a plastic cup. In the view of many large employers, however, the dollars and sense of discouraged drug use outweigh any invasion-of-personal-privacy questions. For controlled-substance users, the numbers are sobering. According to the Institute for a Drug-Free Workplace in Washington, D.C., more than 90 percent of about 2,000 major U.S. employers not required to administer testing conduct pre-employment screens anyway. Many employers also test under other conditions, such as after an on-the-job injury. In comparison, only 3 percent of Fortune 200 companies tested one or more classes of job applicants or employees in 1983</abstract>
