The ACLU and the ACLU of Michigan, in partnership with the law firm Daniel W. Grow PLLC, filed a lawsuit in June charging that Joseph Casias, 30, the Battle Creek, MI Wal-Mart's employee of the year in 2008, was wrongfully fired last year for testing positive for marijuana.

If he were using Oxycontin he would still be working there I guess? Poor guy was just following the law and Walmart's rules and still gets fired. Makes no sense.

He must have been smoking pot when he was working towards making employee of the year.
You can bet the upper management that fired this guy, never has to take a piss test. Obama should be piss tested each & every day, until this intrusive procedure is ended nationwide.
