Q: My son was put off the job today for medical mj use. He has a card. Can you help? Steamfitter Union. confidential plz
He has been being harassed by his foreman. Accused him of putting vodka in his water bottle. Told other foremen he is using pills. He is not. Only medical mj.
A:
First and foremost, your son's medical marijuana use should be protected under Pennsylvania's medical marijuana law. Employers are generally prohibited from discriminating against employees solely based on their status as a certified medical marijuana patient.
Now, when it comes to workplace harassment, that's a serious matter! Nobody should have to deal with such nonsense. Your son might consider documenting any instances of harassment and gather any evidence that supports his case. It's essential to have a strong case if he decides to take any legal action.
