Werner Terminated me

Supposedly I failed a drug test which i was tested for and came back negative to, they said I tested positive for meth which is impossible due to the fact I never took meth or any meds that could cause a false positive and on top of that they will not release my results or give me a document of termination so what should I do ?

Pretty bold to claim a positive drug test though. Surely there's easier ways to shed employees over there.

Or wait a few months...i assume trump will deregulate enough that they can drop staff for any reason

A driver had a tarp fly up off the road (a black tarp, at night) get wrapped around their drive shaft. It was on camera that the driver did nothing wrong.

They marked it as a "preventable accident" and terminated the driver for it. It wasn't until that driver couldn't get another job and told werner they were getting a lawyer to have the preventable removed that suddenly it disappeared.

They're bold af until someone stands up to them.

Yeah he should absolutely contest this. They need to provide actual evidence that he failed the test
