Bill English and Employment Drug Testing

Once again we see why Bill English is unfit to lead New Zealand. He thinks workers are lazy and drug addicted. >>See Labour's reaction here<<  On top of that, he doesn't even know what the law is on drug testing. Here's a guide from the government he leads:

It is the employers responsibility to deliver a safe workplace, and it is better to work on prevention rather than trying to manage the effects of drugs and alcohol. This is the official line.

What do employers need not do? They do not have to test prospective employees nor do they have to randomly test all employees. They cannot even target an individual for a test if that is not provided for in their employment agreement. I score the Prime Minister a D- on this effort. Not only is he a bigot, he's uninformed and stupid as well.

So now we know, New Zealand is actually a safer workplace than Australia. The only reason there are more deaths in NZ per capita is because a higher proportion of NZers are working in high risk industries, like forestry. 

Worksafe NZ launched a major advertising campaign which has now been held to be grossly exaggerated.
