[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5575851, member: 70932"] Is this story #3 now? If you really blew a 0.008, UPS has no authority to do anything to you. A 0.008 is almost zero. You need to blow at least a 0.02 for any kind of discipline. And, if you remember, your original post stated that you blew [I]barley[/I] at the state limit. I took this to mean that you were slightly under 0.08. Whatever you say it was, it needs to be at least 0.02 for UPS to be able to do anything to you. Anything less, and you continue your day. [I]Article 35 Section 4.11 Discipline It is agreed that an employee will have rehabilitation opportunities for alcohol abuse as outlined in Article 16, Section 5, except as provided under Random Testing below. Reasonable Cause Testing An employee who is tested for reasonable cause and whose alcohol level is 0.02 to 0.039 will be taken out of service for twenty-four (24) hours and receive a warning letter. An employee who is tested for reasonable cause and whose alcohol level is 0.040 to 0.069 will be taken out of service for twenty-four (24) hours, referred to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and suspended for ten (10) days. If the employee has committed a disciplinary offense under the terms of the supplemental agreement, the results of the test may be used in the support of the Employer’s disciplinary action. A second positive test of 0.02 or above is a dischargeable offense. A positive test of 0.070 or above is a dischargeable offense. [/I] [/QUOTE]
