What you do on your own time can be the business of your employers. I know my industry is a bad example but I'll use it anyway. They know pretty much everything about me. Hell, YOU as a consumer can pull up my file on the industry website and check out my credit, employment, discipline, and education history. The national regulatory associations keep notes in my file about my time spent coaching kids' soccer. If an anonymous report pops up saying I spend a lot of time in the casino I will be flagged for special attention. Why? To make sure that I don't have some outside problem that might lead me to start screwing people over and taking their money. Extreme? Yes, but it is an example of why it is in the employer's best interest to keep tabs on certain behaviors.
Like it or not, a good job is not a right - it is a privilege, and there just might be some restrictions. You don't have to accept the restrictions. You can turn the job down. Same with the welfare recipient. If they don't want to take a drug test - they can quit accepting the check.
