EspañolA group of 20 companies will file tomorrow an administrative appeal against the presidential decree 120/2014, approved last week and regulating the production, distribution, and sale of marijuana in Uruguay. The employers are complaining about subsection 42, which restricts punishments on employees for attending work under the influence of marijuana or using it during the workday.

Several companies from the transportation and services sectors in Uruguay argue in a letter that the legislation “affects their direct, personal, and legitimate interest by eliminating the employer’s authority to punish workers under the influence of cannabis.”

The appellant companies say the marijuana decree is “illegitimate,” because it “invades the contractual employment relationship between individuals, reducing the employer’s reach and putting the workers’ life and physical integrity at risk.”

Lawyer Diego Durand complains that it is “totally illogical” that Uruguay’s government forbids marijuana-related penalties on employees, while at the same time a recently enacted law about employer criminal liability sanctions firms for failing to secure safe working conditions.
