Legal Question in Employment Law in Michigan

Intrusive employee handbook

After 10 years of employment in a very small business, my employer has developed an employee handbook requiring my signed agreement. Among other things, this provides my employer the right to search any personal items brought into the workplace, send me to a doctor of his choice for health, alcohol and drug screening, and dictates what ''appropriate conduct'' is, even when out of the workplace. I find it extremely personally intrusive and do not want to sign it. Assuming I am fired for refusing to sign, would I be likely to have any legal recourse?
