Look for...the Union label....when you are buying...Dope
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - The star of a labor organization's anti-drug television ad has been charged with what police call a "marijuana factory" in his Huntington home.
Searls, a member of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 521, appeared in an ad by the Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation espousing a drug-free work force.
Wendell Searls was arrested Wednesday and charged with cultivating marijuana and possessing the drug with an intent to sell. He was held on $52,000 bond. It could not be immediately determined if Searls has a lawyer.
Huntington Police Sgt. Darrell Booth says investigators found more than 100 plants and tools needed to grow the crop indoors in Searls' attic.

Drug screenings without probable cause or reason violate privacy rights, IMO.
Besides, the really good drug addicts know how to get around them anyway...
Why do you think miners get a two week notice before random drug screenings are given? Because these companies would lose half of their work force in one day if they popped them without warning...
"Drug free workforces" have always been a myth, and are a waste of time pursuing.
With that said, because it is one of the biggest selling points of the trades union, this is extra hilarious.
