As for $200/day......depends on what are you doing? I made more than that a day
My "employee handbook" says nothing about random drug testing and I have a problem with it because my body is not my employers business unless and until it does something that causes problems at work.

How anyone can ACCEPT random drug testing only shows how easily humans are led. It really only took one generation didn't it?

That is not relevant to my job and I would not accept that kind of intrusiveness on the part of an employer. Besides, $200 a day only comes out to $4000 a month, which many Americans make right now without having to put up with that sort of intrusion.

You might get more takers if you upped the pay to $1000 a day...

I do not tolerate the government administering drug testing and would tell them to get f**ked and walk out if my employer demanded it. What I do with myself on my own time is my business and now one else's. Just asking is intolerable impertinence.

IMHO the real tyranny in this society is being brought on by the private sector in its unending obsession with controlling everything to do with business most especially their employees. The managers need to mind their own business and not the personal affairs their employees. Demanding that sort of personal information is control freaking at its worst.

If you don't agree to it then don't accept the job.

Do a quality job, get paid a previously agreed sum for said job, simply enough.

I can see illegal drug tests/criminal background checks as illegal behavior is a good indicator of potential unreliability/poor quality work but otherwise my employer is not my mother and should not try to be.

Employer as morality police. I know conservatives love this kind of control over people. It is sick and any employer who wants that level of control over someone's life is sick.
