I’m not sure that’s a correct reading of the article. This was a state job,
I’m guessing with a union contract that included arbitration? The arbitrator
said he should not be fired but rather be suspended without pay for 6 months
and be subject to random drug testing for a year. The lower court overturned
the arbitrator’s decision saying it was contrary to state policy against
marijuana use. The supreme court overruled the lower court and let the
arbitrator’s ruling stand.
“All seven justices agreed that the lower-court judge was wrong to overturn the
arbitrator’s ruling, saying that although state policy on drug use in the
workplace allows for firing workers it does not require it.”
It sounds like they were in the clear firing the worker if it weren’t for his
ability to take it to arbitration.

The supreme court has now ruled that you cant actually fire an employee for
doing drugs in your company vehicles and getting arrested for the crime
