EEOC Targets Wal-Mart, Others, For Blocking Alternative Drug Tests For Applicants

Wal-Mart has settled with a job applicant with cancer who filed an ADA complaint with the EEOC after the company did not allow her to take an alternate drug test. Wal-Mart agreed to provide job applicants with notice that alternative testing would be accepted for those persons “whose physical condition prevents them from producing urine.” EEOC says it has similar lawsuits filed against Kmart and the Forth Worth Center of Rehabilitation.
