The Federаl Energy Regulаtоry Cоmmissiоn (а federal administrative agency) enacted a regulation stating, “any employee who has access to protected areas of nuclear power plants must submit to breath or urine testing (for drug and alcohol use) if a supervisor has a reasonable suspicion that the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol based on personal observations concerning the appearance, behavior, or speech of the employee.” The statute went on to say, “If a test reveals that an employee is impaired, the employee should be immediately terminated. If an employee wishes to contest his termination, he may file a request for a hearing within forty eight hours of termination.” Ben Caldwell was employed by Progress Energy at a nuclear power plant; he was tested and discharged (as a result of the test) on October 1, 2018. Mr. Caldwell’s immediate supervisor requested the testing because he said that Mr. Caldwell “smelled like beer” on two mornings when he arrived for work. Mr. Caldwell requested a hearing on October 5, 2018, but the hearing has not been scheduled yet. Mr. Caldwell alleges that the test (a urine test) was conducted in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution because it was an unreasonable search and seizure.
