Annotate this CaseThe Union challenged the constitutionality of a random drug testing policy applicable to all employees working at Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers operated by the U.S. Forest Service. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the Secretary and denied the Union's request for a preliminary injunction. The court concluded that the Secretary had failed to demonstrate "special needs" rendering the Fourth Amendment requirement of individualized suspicion impractical in the context of Job Corps employment. Accordingly, the court reversed and remanded.
