“In July 2022, an aircraft maintenance technician (AMT) was tested and found with higher than allowable levels of THC in his system. He was immediately fired on safety grounds. But he appealed through his union and has now won his job back…on an interesting defense.
While he did not deny the THC readings in his system, he denied using drugs and speculated that he had “unwittingly ingested a marijuana edible at a block party/barbecue he had recently attended.”
