Yes, an employer can require employees to undergo drug tests and does not need to provide prior warning of them. The thing they can't do is discriminate against people by race, by national origin, by religion, by sex, etc. in determing who does--and who doesn't--have to be tested; but if *everyone* is being tested, then discrimination is not a concern.
