A federal judge in Brooklyn has ruled that Amazon.com Inc did not violate a New York City law by screening applicants for warehouse jobs for marijuana, saying the work would be dangerous for impaired employees.
by three applicants who were turned down for Amazon warehouse jobs after testing positive for marijuana use.
"It isn't hard to imagine an impaired employee ambling in front of a heavy moving object or carelessly allowing a clothing item to get caught in a conveyor belt," Cogan wrote. The city law exempts certain jobs, including those that involve the use of heavy machinery or for which impairment "would pose an immediate risk of death or serious physical harm."
Cogan disagreed, saying federal workplace safety regulations have identified various hazards associated with conveyor belts that Amazon workers are exposed to on a daily basis.
