Effort to Drug Test State Employees Fails
April 21st, 2014 by Mike VasilindaGovernor Rick Scott’s three year quest to drug test state employees came to an end today. Scott has asked the US Supreme Court to look at the case after two other Federal courts ruled against him. Today, the nation’s high court refused to even look at the case. Rich Templin from the AFL-CIO says the ruling is a victory for the constitutional rights of public employees “The court’s decision really sends a message loud and clear that these are Floridians just like the rest of us. IF anything, they are worthy of our support, and our respect, and not our scorn, and we couldn’t be more pleased with this.”
Scott also had not prevailed in his efforts to drug test welfare recipients.
