Bernadette Coughlin and David Hadas
A workplace injury caused Bernadette Coughlin to lose her job when a drug test came back positive for marijuana. Recreational marijuana use is legal in Massachusetts, but without any employee protections in place, the company was able to fire her. Now, with the help of lawyer David Hadas (Drohan, Hitt, and Hadas), Coughlin has sought legal action against her former employer and has brought the issue to the attention of state officials. She hopes to fix this obvious legislative flaw and protect others from suffering the same fate as her.
