(Pittsburgh, PA) A bill that can protect people with medical marijuana cards against discrimination is advancing forward thanks to a decision from the Pittsburgh City Council. The council could approve an amendment that would exempt jobs covered by union contracts that cover drug testing, but employers within Pittsburgh city limits would be restricted from testing workers for marijuana use. The city council is expected next Tuesday to have a final vote for approval of this bill.
