Marijuana Testing of Job Applicants Is Barred by New York City in Groundbreaking Measure

April 12, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Most employers in New York City would no longer be able to force job applicants to take drug tests for marijuana use, under a bill overwhelmingly approved this week by the City Council.

More employers are dropping marijuana from drug tests. Here’s why the trend in Iowa is a slow burn.

July 10, 2018 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment
