[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 352555, member: 11476"] Brownshark, Article 35 Section 3.8 Reasonable Cause Testing Paragraph 3 "The employees conduct must be witnessed by at least two (2) supervisors, if available. The witnesses must have recieved training in observing a person's behavior to determine if a medical evaluation is required. When the supervisor(s) confronts an employee,[U] 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."[/U] As this language has not been edited or changed in anyway during negotions for the new contract, you will not find this section in the new Master until the printed version is handed out. Only the changed language is available online. Now I realize that the language says 'should be made available' but, if UPS wants to dot their i's and cross their t's they will make sure a represtentive of the employees choice is made available. If they don't do this then odds are very good that said employee will not lose their job under the claim that the company refused representation. Next: Alcohol Art. 35 Section 4.11 Subsection 1 Discipline Reasonable Cause Testing "An employee who is tested for resonable cause and whose alcohol level is 0.02 to 0.039will 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." "A second positive test of 0.20 or above is a dischargeable offense." [/QUOTE]
