I would love for a employer to fire me for not letting them search my personal vehicle. They are not LEOs and do not have a warrant. My lawyer would have a field day in court with that.

Re: Delivery drivers
On what grounds. If you work for a company that claims the right to search your vehicle, you have almost certainly signed something saying that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by company policy.nightmare69 wrote:3dfxMM wrote: Sure they do.

Re: Delivery drivers
I have signed nothing, would not care if I did my vehicle is my property. In my opinion I treat it the same as if my boss came to my house and said he has the right to search and if I refuse they would fire me, well fire away cause you will not search my property.3dfxMM wrote: On what grounds.

If you want to let them search your vehicle that is your business and refusing is mine.

Right to work State. As long as they don't fire you for the wrong reason they can fire you for any or no reason and you agree to their policies (usually unless they screw up paperwork) when you take the job so your firing would be for cause and you wouldn't even qualify for unemployment.

Re: Delivery drivers
Texas is a "right to work" state, but that is not the reason they can fire you so easily. It is actually because Texas is an "at will" state. Which means that (barring a contractual obligation) either party can terminate the arrangement at any time and for whatever reason. "Right to work" means that an employee can neither be prevented from joining a union nor forced to join a union.

If you don't have a contract, they can fire you for any reason as long as they don't violate discrimination laws.
