Asked on Jun 03rd, 2014 on Labor and Employment - Kentucky
More details to this question:
My husband and I have received many calls from his coworker and their wives saying that he was fired for failing a drug test but he has not been told by the company that he is no longer employed. The plant manger said he was suspended because they have a one chance policy and this is his first failed drug test in almost 8 years of employment.

It could be a HIPPA violation. But I am not sure. The problem is that your damages are nominal at best. It wouldn't be libel and slander because truth is a defense.
