Answer to Company policy in a contract.
SearchesIf you have a union and are in contract negotiations, drug policies are mandatory subjects of bargaining. Therefore, the employer can't put anything in the contract until the union agrees to it. Car searches would be allowed if you agree to it in the contract. Otherwise, the company can order you to let them search but you do not have to let them. However, you can then be disciplined or terminated for insubordination.
Searches of vehicles by the police require "reasonable suspicion" which, these days, is almost anything.

Answer to Accountant forced my employer to replace me with his own person
New accountantNothing gives the accountant the right but if your boss goes along with it, it is not illegal unless your termination is based on an unlawful reason, i.e. gender, race, religion, etc. The only thing I can think of doing is suggest your boss get another accountant. I would need a lot more information to give you an opinion on the legality of the termination.
