Just like a drug test, which is an absolute invasion of privacy, your

I'm not saying this is fair or right. I'm saying this is the way it
is...
A private, non-corporate 'employer' is free to do whatever he/she
wants - hire and fire anyone they want, anytime they want, for any
reason they want. Problem is, truly private 'employers' are rae these
days.
Actually that is not true. Any employer, corporate or not, firing, or
even refusing to hire, a person because of race, color, religion, sexual
orientation (especially if the employee is gay), handicap, or
nationality can be sued for huge amounts, and even prosecuted
criminally. The fourth episode of season 3 of Boston Legal actually had
a show on this when a budding lawyer fired another lawyer because he was
a Scientologist. You are correct it is much worse for large
corporations. Exxon was legally prevented from firing a drunkard
captain, because it was classified as a disability, which then wrecked
the Valdez, and ended up being fined and sued for not firing him.
