I am fully aware the test exists. The issue I have is one can have smoked last night. Said person goes into work, and is booted because he is a known marijuana user and he had some bloodshot eyes (which happened to be a result of not enough sleep), so there is "reason to believe" he was recently using. He can go get a test, but levels will be positive, so he is screwed. Hell, he may even lose his job over it.
That is one theoretical example, I am sure we can come up with more. If MJ is legalized, workers will be more open about their use. Without a more accurate test, employers can potentially unjustly discriminate here, and the workers will have little to no legal protection.
If they tell me "you are fired because you are blazed" I am pretty sure I can take legal action. If I can;t go that far, I can sure give their name hell in the local/national paper. Most companies aren;t going to want this...

Sure they can, they don't NEED a reason. Unless it is a union job. At-Will employement is a legal term. It litterally means they can fire you WITHOUT cause. Just like you can quit without reason.
