In 2023, Walmart relaxed its
policy requiring anyone applying for a job at the company to get a drug test,
including for marijuana, which at the time was legal in several U.S. member

the person is never affected by the drug while working. I contend that the practice is unfair, unethical, and an over-reach in
terms of the nature of a labor contract.
