I work for another American company now (ADT) and drug testing is also part of their SOP's...

Been here nearly a year, and haven't heard of anyone actually being tested yet though, I think it's merely a formality, should they suspect drug abuse.

I can't speak for Americans, but disputing the testing here would just decrease the already tiny job market here for the common folk, so we give them our urine on demand
