This is a private company with their own private policies. This could be alcoholism, drug use / abuse or other self administered problem. Second, does a company have a right to put their own policies out especially ones that protect not only their employees but others lives? Think of the lawsuit of a reformed alcoholic who falls off the wagon who was forced to be give the keys by the EEOC policy, who kills a family of three in an accident? Is it a better policy to force the keys back into their hands or is it a better policy to remove that option and keep them employed elsewhere?

Look ... while of course from what information is provided that company has a right to restrict a person if they are abusing ETOH while working.
However, the most curious aspect is that Fox News chose to say it was the Obama administration suing. That is as factual as trying to imply ... it is the speaker of the house suing this company.
Of course, Fox instead of opening a real discussion on how this ICD dx should be coded and considered for employers ... would instead present such ridiculous opening to their thinly veiled "story" on Obama!
the Obama administration is suing a trucking company for taking the keys away from an Arkansas driver and eventually firing him after he admitted he was battling alcohol abuse.
Too freakin' funny ... ! Lets see is it Boener's fault or Obama's ... hey Fox News ... you lost credibility in your first sentence. Of course ... what is lost on the viewer is that most people would agree that this company most likely has a valid case. They present a story most could agree with the premise and yet "present it" as Obama is suing the company.
Surely FNN is not insulting the 6th grade education level they try to entice as being that stupid!
