My BIL was layed off from a job as a warehouse manager about a year ago.
He has a rough time landing a job. He has had many second interviews and then no interest in him. He could not figure it out until this week. He broke down and went to a temporary agency to get a job. He went through the process and went to take his wee wee test and was on his way to employment.
A little afterwards (within an hour) he got a call from the temp agency telling him that they could not use him because his previous employer that he was using as a reference had told them that he had refused a drug test.
The story behind that is that he had backed a company truck into a pole located near the loading dock when he was closing up the warehouse at closing time on a Friday afternoon. He told the GM what had happened and he said no problem, lets take care of it on Monday. After he left, the GM called him and told him to come back because he needed to take a drug test. He had been in the office since 4:30 AM that morning and he told the GM that he was not coming back because he was at home and they agreed to take care of it on Monday. The GM told him to just come in at noon on Monday to discuss the issue. He was fired for refusing a drug test.
He had been promised a raise and was asking about it after not seeing the pay increase. The company cheats on their driver logs amonng other OSHA related issues.
He has been a good guy about this but now to find out that they are telling his potential employers that he had refused a drug test has really crushed him.
What can he do to get this corrected and stop them from telling potential employers that he refused a test. He had a flawless file for the 4 years he worked for them. Everything was good until he asked about his pay increase that he was promised.
Sorry for the long story!
