Re: New question
Driver was at a house where a drug bust went down (this was off the clock, on a weekend). Driver was not arrested, but he was questioned about who he was, why he was there, where he worked, etc. One of the cops knew the security manager at our building and told him about it. Security then interviewed the driver to confirm what the police had told them, and then insisted that he take a piss test. Driver refused, based on the contract language cited above. He was terminated for refusing to follow instructions, and that decision was upheld at panel.
OK, let's take this to a new level:
Is finding the drivers number in the dealers phone, and the arrest of the driver, enough for UPS to insist on a drug test?
We had a situation similar to this happen in our building.Absolutely not. A drug dealer having your phone number does not fit the reasonable cause definition.
He must be observed by 2 members of management, slurring speech, blood shot eyes, smelling like alcohol/drugs etc the list goes on, but having a cell phone number is not one of the criteria.
