What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona.
I was working at rock climbing gym for two years when the owner heard from a few customer's that I had been smoking marijuana on the job. He then approached other employees and harassed them about it (one of my friends tells me he was on the verge of yelling at my friend to make sure he was telling the truth). He set up a meeting with myself and another employee who had been heard smoking on the job. Where he then fired us because we made our gym unsafe. I understand this very much and I was at fault.
Then the owner goes on to pretty much ban me from the gym with the only possibility that if I am randomly drug tested for six months I may be able to allowed in. Within the climbing community there is many smokers and many come in to the gym high. They claim since they are aware of my habits I am now a liability. Also, they say if I am high I am not myself and can take action against them for me endangering myself.
I understand a business can deny any customer they want but can they do it against me because they fired me based on rumors? They never drug tested me and I never signed any papers saying I smoked/smoked on the job. They can only base me being high on what these few people say. Is this discrimination? Can they do this?
