A federal court in Alabama held that an employer’s request to count an employee’s prescription medication supported the employee’s claim for invasion of privacy. The plaintiff in Effinger v. Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority filed the lawsuit after she was terminated from her position for allegedly being “mentally ill” and a “direct threat” of harm. According to the bus driver, she was required to undergo a test that was labeled a “post-accident drug test,” which she passed. She refused to take all prescription medications to work to be counted and alleged, among other things, that she was “regarded as” disabled and that the request to count her medication constituted an invasion of privacy.
