A summary of the history of drug testing in the workplace is presented; the current status of precedent-setting case law is analyzed; and an agenda for further research is outlined. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
