A growing number of companies are dropping marijuana drug testing

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:50:07 GMT

As more states make the move to legalize marijuana, a growing number of businesses are eliminating or drastically changing their drug testing policies.“The majority still have their drug-free workplace policies in place,” said Amber Clayton, senior director of Knowledge Center Operations at the Society of Human Resources Management.Clayton said her organization has seen a boost in businesses asking how to navigate the challenges linked to new laws that legalize marijuana.“We’ve been getting questions for years,” she said. “They want to understand what are the laws. What can and can’t they do? Can they have policies? Can they test?”Clayton said the short answer is to always check state laws.But some businesses have done away with marijuana testing altogether, especially for job applicants. About 15% of employers recently surveyed said they have eliminated preemployment drug testing entirely. The move widens the talent pool for businesse...

ANÁLISIS | 40 millones de formas en que la campaña de Trump se está transformando en su defensa legal

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:50:07 GMT

(CNN) — El fatídico choque entre el embrollo legal del expresidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y las elecciones de 2024 se profundiza en medio de nuevas señales de que su campaña republicana para encabezar las encuestas está diseñada en parte para financiar su defensa y vencer los cargos penales.La noticia de que el PAC (Comité de Acción Política) de liderazgo de Trump, que recauda la mayor parte de su dinero a partir de pequeñas donaciones, ha gastado más de US$ 40 millones en honorarios de abogados para él y sus asociados, surgió a medida que refuerza su control sobre la carrera republicana y aumenta las afirmaciones de que el presidente Joe Biden quiere que lo arresten para que no pueda lograr un sorprendente regreso a la Casa Blanca.Si bien muchos de los rivales de Trump aún desconfían de criticar abiertamente su marasmo legal por temor a alienar a sus partidarios, algunos se están volviendo más vocales después de que el expresidente fuera acusado de nuevos cargos en...

Melbourne, Australia (AP) — Australia striker Sam Kerr was benched again but Canada captain Christine Sinclair returned to the starting lineup for a pivotal Women’s World Cup group-stage finale Monday between the co-hosts and the Olympic champions. Kerr, Australia’s captain, missed her team’s previous two Group B matches because of a calf injury sustained in training on the eve of the tournament opener.While Kerr was included on the bench and had indicated she’d be available for the match against Canada, Matildas head coach Tony Gustavsson suggested the decision to play Kerr would always “come down to the wire.”Despite missing their captain, the Matildas won their first match against Ireland 1-0 in Sydney. A 3-2 upset loss to Nigeria in Brisbane meant Australia’s match against Canada was a virtual must-win situation for the hosts.Sinclair, international soccer’s all-time leading scorer, returned to the starting 11 after only playing half of Canada’s 2-1 win over Ireland....
