Is it legal to fire a person over a positive valium blood test?
My father was fired because he tested positive for valium on a blood test. He was prescribed this medicine by a doctor, and valium (diazepam) is legal in the United States. Is this legal?
Chosen Answer:
I think if he showed them proof of a prescription then maybe it is not legal unless he was driving heavy equipment and got in a wreck or near wreck at work. You are not supposed to drive or operate heavy equipment when taking nerve pills.

There has to be another reason your father got fired. If it was prescribed they can’t fire him over that. He may not be telling you all of the truth. But if it is get a lawyer.
