Section 3.8 Reasonable Cause TestingEnd of story I said I don’t go to work high I only smoke going to bed nothing more .
Upon reasonable cause, UPS will require an employee to be tested for the use of controlled substances. Reasonable cause is defined as an employee’s observable action, appearance, or conduct that clearly indicate the need for a fit-ness-for-duty medical evaluation.
The employee’s conduct must be witnessed by at least two (2) supervisors, if available. The witnesses must have received training in observing a person’s behavior to determine if a medical evaluation is required. When the supervisor(s) confronts an employee, a Union representative should be made available pursuant to Article 4 of the National Master UPS Agreement as interpreted. If no steward is present, the employee may select another hourly paid employee to represent him. Documentation of the employee’s conduct shall be prepared and signed by the witnesses within twenty-four (24) hours of the observed behavior, or before the test results are released, whichever is earlier. In addition, a copy will be sent to the Local Union in a timely manner.
