The company did this to get rid of them. SUE TF outta them.
Just to bring in illegal immigrants who will work for less.
Yep the ole get rid of high paying workers for the one that will accept lower pay
The Joe Biden’s way
Exactly what I came here to post ....probably all the illegals that aren't in jail for rape and murder....
Do your research something Trump will do. @Apogge_kings
@Apogge_kings Nothing to do with politics. The CEO's and execs of the corporation are GREEDY. You are slow as hell
I used to work for a company working 60 hours a week making 30 an hour and someone crash me. I got drug tested(fail for weed) they fire me but kept the people who do coke lmao
I hope they can sue for "pain and suffering and get their jobs back with back pay.
I had a supervisor fire me for "having drugs in my possession". She had gone onto my locked desk, opened my purse and pulled out my Primatene tablets. (OTC Asthma medication). The active ingredient is considered a "controlled substance" but not in the dosage contained in a tablet. I'm sure there was something in my rescue inhaler that's controlled as well but she didn't mention that. I got my job back and she was cited, but the PTSD lasts a lifetime.
Who wants to Work at a Job that Does that?? Is the money WORTH people Snooping n Sniffing Your Piss to work there???
So sorry that happened to you!
If a drug test is negative, it is negative!
If a drug test comes back positive, then they are supposed to check again to see exactly how positive it really is and how high the levels are especially if there was a injury or an accident!
Don't eat poppy seed bagels before a drug test 😂
This is a bigger problem than you realize. We are being destroyed by false positive drug tests
@@terransunited I call her... Elaine 😂
bro i went in for folical and urine . my folical clear & urine not make it make since 🐒🐒🐒
They couldn’t lay them off sooooooo
Disappointed. Y'all didn't give us the name of the companies. All of them.
I was thinking the same give us the name of the oil company they worked for .
Different oil companies. DISA Global is the company that is messing up the drug tests.
I used to work for Disa, and I worked in O&G and have been tested by them before.
They know they are FOS. Someone messed up the samples. They test you at your work facility which means they collect all the samples together. Hell the person collecting the sample was probably high.
Yup I feel like my company wants to get rid of me and the other veterans because of how much we make. They are planning on taking away my overtime and they say that it will give me a work life balance meanwhile they are taking away 20k from my salary it’s BS no reason to be loyal anymore and during my time we broke production goals and currently still are. Companies are just stingy with the money
No company’s now don’t care about the workers, they would rather take money from the people actually doing the work, so they can fill the pockets of the ceos and upper management.
Please open a multi million dollar lawsuit against the company
Disa Global Solutions has harmed the lives of countless Americans flagrantly! 🚨
DISA Global is the name of the drug testing company according to this video. They are considered to be a solid player. Very very concerning.....this could be a people issue at the testing center if the tests are sent out to another company. DISA's silence does not bode well.
Oh my, this is a bad thing. Disa has been doing this for years.
No way this company is that dumb
Think again. It happened to me and many many others
@@getridofgovt6339 dammit man
Yes they are!
May not be that dumb, but they are that greedy.
Heartbreaking on too many levels.
*** Father, please bless these people and help them experience recovery under your protection and care.
You guys need to file a lawsuit against them!!!
This is another way to give jobs to their family members.
Why are we still drug testing
It's a Dirty Game 💰
Lawsuit 💰
Hello they are doing that so don't have to give you your severance pay cause you been there for more then ten years that's why they are doing it so they don't have to pay the more that get laid off the better off it is for them.
Unbelievable they don't want to pay them why????? When they can get guy to do it for half the money SNEAKY COMPANIES
Sue
God sees and hears all things. Trust God & keep speaking out about this matter.
The world is going through a fire sprees sad af
Disa Global Solutions has to atone for all the damaged lives! Recompense!!!!!
Keep reporting!! People ... more need to speak.
Hair drug test tell the truth
False. I’ve been through it and pray to god you never get caught up in this
If the testing facility follows the proper protocols and procedures.
I’m glad they are being called on their ethics. They have been doing this bs for over 10 years to my knowledge.
These people keep playing with people's jobs they are going to be in for a rude awakening
Lawsuit
To pay lots of money to clear the test.its all about money.
Wow! I know 2 ex co-workers that had this happen. One died later from the stress, the other admitted he hit the pipe one time.
So you’re saying …………
@@IINVICTA 😁😁
Eat the rich
Only a dummy is loyal to corporate America.
Extremely interesting and informative.
Bogus est to get rid of employees especially the ones who have been there for a; long period of time. The Company just don't want to pay the benefits
Aw man, those asinine drug tests! company should get sued!
I just got Fired On Moments Notice Today Also. The way I See it, if they don't Appreciate Your Work Ethics FXCK em. I wouldn't want to Put Anymore of MY effort into a Company or Job Who Doesn't VALUE me as a Individual Person...
Sorry to hear that. I'll pray you find something better! God bless..❤
@jaytaylor2090 Thank 😊 🙏 You...
I got fired to and hard to find another job after being there just 2yrs sad af
@RhameshaBaldwin as Long as you know you Showed up on time n Handled customers Well. Theres nothing to be Sad about, Keep your Head up n Press on. Every Job That Fired me couldn't Say it was because my Work ethics or Time. I just tend to do thinks MY way to get to the Same Goal of CUSTOMER satisfaction. For Example At Chipotle, I ROLLED the BEST burritos 🌯 Evened out n everything. Even had CUSTOMERS Coming SPECIFICALLY to that location to have me do thier Burritos. Only thing was I Didn't Keep Up the SPEED. I don't like RUSHING Food Orders that CUSTOMERS Are PAYING to eat. They cared more about Wrapping Baby Diapers at a quicker pace having ALOT of the customers Complaining Afterwards or during, then to TAKE just alil Bit more time with EACH customer they would be SATISFIED and RETURN. I've literally had MULTIPLE customers tell me Just by Rolling N Work ethics that if I continued I'll OWN the place. I GOT Fired Because I refused to Move at a FASTER pace then I already Was doing ALL the Background shxt NOBODY else Did like Trash n Dishes. You ain't bout to work me like a SLAVE When I'm already Putting in the HOURS, Effort NOBODY else is AND showing up on time All The Time at 6am for thier stupid axxes whenever NOBODY Else would barely. End of the Day People Don't CARE if your a Hard worker 💯 and dedicated to the CUSTOMER To THIER Benefit as Owners. My Last boss Fired Me For tryna to RETAIN a Deisel Truck 🚚 Driver as a Loyal gas customer for him, doing what they call CUSTOMER service. Bosses n Jobs Want you to Work like a HORSE with those Blinders on, no Intivation, so Personal Thought to help, no Tryna a different approach to achieve the SAME goal Like Me at Chipotle. Instead of INCREASING sales perday why no RETAIN sales Perday as in Customes coming BACK to Patronize the BUSINESS. If more customers are Leaving COMPLAINING how many are coming BACK??. 😕

They're running a scam & will roll with that until theyvhave pay a price for it! It doesn't compensate the people that have lost profits for the mistakes, so you gotta sue !
agreed
How many people in the U.S. have lost their jobs because of a drug test? Why are these people any different?
It's something else to this story they not talking about smh
They have probably had several false positive tests through this company and they have probably had several people dispute them and instead of going with a different company they’ll stick with this one anyway. A lawyer should look into their records and see how long they’ve been using this one company and how many test have come back positive and had been disputed over the years when they take them to court.
I feel that once a company is notified of a positive drug test then they should give that person who’s being accused a second test. After four major spinal fusions and my body being full of hardware, I have suffered pain beyond belief and I was kicked out of a pain clinic treatment center because I had a test come back false positive. They refused to give me a second test right then and there. It’s humiliating.
They should make them pay back pay
YEP, FEW YEARS AGO THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME. I WORK IN THE REFINERY AND WAS SENT FOR A HAIR FOLICAL WITH DISA, CAME BACK FALSE POSITIVE. I WILL NEVER TAKE ANOTHER HAIR FOLICAL TEST AGAIN. RUINED MY CAREER. HAVENT BEEN BACK TO THE REFINERY.
They know that if a test comes back + it will destroy a person’s career. That’s why I only use Dr’s Labs. Some companies ban you from ever being hired with them if you test positive. This is the Good Old Boys Business IYKYK
Approximately 16% of the drug test false positive. However, in a " right to work" State, you have no recourse to sue unless it is a violation of your ethnic, religious, age, or sexual orientation. Then you must spend the time and money to fight the employer. You are double screwed if you are a government employee.
Definitely happened to me last year.
Probably trying to get out of layoffs which cause you to get unemployment checks that the company pays. Fired because of drug test you cannot collect unemployment.
Yeah a lot of companies are downsizing and you shouldn’t be shocked.if people are broke companies are as well
Companies are GREEDY and not broke. Greedy.
Speak up people
What company??¿?
That was the same company that cost me a good job and I went to get my own and it come back negative
So if they get injured on the job they can get compensation denied over a false positive dt ? This messed up
dont discount incompetency at/in the drug screening workforce,
I'm not confident in the training and staffing anywhere,
there's also so many chemicals in foods and products where a false positive could be real easy and unbeknownst,
That first guy is squeaky clean.
your coverage of the Jocelyn Nungaray funeral was awful. I could barely hear what was being said so i have to wait for live coverage to end. Hopefully Captions will activate and then i can understand the audio. Please drug test your audio engineer.
Damn shame please come jesus come save us
I had a false positive for benzodiazepines years ago and I’m a nurse!
Why do we need new reporters if they're just going to stand there and read all the information straight off of their phones?
This happened to me years ago
I guess those are "black jobs" 😂😂😂
What's the point of the drug tests? Everyone uses drugs
That lady with the hat on is hilarious! 🤣
Has anyone filed a lawsuit?
You can't win against DISA, or the labs they use to test. They always win..
The good ol boys strikes again 😮
Sounds like the company paid off the lab for these results.
Synthetic cannibis is prescription marinol. Infact, it shows up as cannibis period. So for them to claim it was synthetic is a lie in of itself
Sorry to these gentlemen for losing their jobs. I pray this isn't happening with plans to hire these illegal immigrants for their job replacements.
Disa gives you a list of crooked 12 steps drug classes and the charge 500 you go from one scammer to the other scammer
Yup they doing that alot of folks have connections and abuse them
SUE
They did it to me to say I pass my hair test but had weed in my urine
Give them they jobs back
Quanel Z is involved? Candice Matthews too? Then this story is all sizzle and no steak.
Wow
Not good...
Bro just said he might commit suicide...
I work in a field that requires urine screening for cause and no cause. Meaning, they can pull me random, for cause (screw up really bad or cause an accident), and no cause (manager, supervisor, HR) basically they just want to.
Blood test ! Is 💯 accurate 🤔
Man union for the community!!!!!
Houstonians 😮
Hope quanell can do something about my background disa been having me a level 5 since 2020
They hand pick there victims like Enron did this is old news anymore your fired .
Ayeee look at my boy Marcus
You won’t win they know what there doing sad but this is bad news .
Idk he looks high rn 😂
I smell a rat
So my comment gets deleted interesting
Dile no a las drogas...
And say no to asinine drug tests too!
Wow... wonder if the company has a water fountain. If the test are legit. They all may be drinking tainted water. Next drug test week or day. Worker better test the water.
The water wasn't tainted the company is
Bullshit
You failed it Bro 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Time to change careers seems like they just wanted the M cants out .
No good.
#Bidenomics 😂
The whole interview.He never said once I do not do drugs.I never smoke marijuana.😂
