Abstract
Workplace drug testing programmes are still prolific in the United States, despite often being heavily criticized. This paper will discuss the state of drug testing programmes and give a short preview of how the testing started and which workplaces were included firstly for testing and then move on to deal with the state of drug testing in the public sector and describe the various factors which influence the drug testing policies in various states. This is compared to drug testing in the food service industry in order to find out if they serve a purpose, i.e. do workplaces which conduct such test have a lower number of drug-using employees and how these procedures influence the motivation of employees.
