Definition

  • In Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives' Association (1989), the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a drug-testing program for railroad employees in positions that had an impact on safety. Pursuant to Skinner, along with its companion case, National Treasury Employees Union v. Von Raab (1989), public employers may, under some circumstances, be able to require their employees to submit to suspicionless drug and alcohol testing.
