America’s laid off and fired citizens already have to jump through a series of hoops to receive unemployment benefits. Now Congress has decided to add another: drug tests for unemployment applicants. They voted to repeal a Department of Labor rule that made it harder for states to drug test unemployment applicants. States claim this saves money and ensures a ready and able workforce. In reality, it’s a drain on resources and an invasion of privacy that keeps the working class down by potentially locking them out the benefits they paid into as employed citizens for years. Correspondent Natalie McGill covers this latest move from politicians to work for everything except the people on Redacted Tonight.
