can i get my job back

[ldl]

i was pulled in for a drug test, reasonable suspicion as a preloader, a supervisor said i smelled of week. I did not refuse the test, it would have been positive. i was given the option to resign rather than be terminated. I resigned. I would like to reverse that and go to rehab if possible and go through the company's follow up program if there is such a thing. i am not sure if that is possible.

Did you have a steward with you?

This is key! If no steward was there then it's like your resignation never happened.

It sounds like they bullied you into quitting. My guess is they have a reason to want to get rid of you other than the drugs. So they took their shot and it worked.

You should have admitted you had a problem and got enrolled in a drug program.

Brownies don't smell just saying!! Hope it works out for you!

This only works if you ask for rehab BEFORE you get tested.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

 

[Indecisi0n]

You friend up on how you went about this. Your done.

Are you going to rehab to get off drugs or to get your job back?

 

[burrheadd]

Are you going to rehab to get off drugs or to get your job back?

Seriously?
Nobody goes to rehab to get off drugs

Unless your on Dr Phil

And I just got inboxed from a member who knows someone this happened to, so apparently I am wrong!
Still, he was out 9 months, ouch...

If you get tested because they had a suspicion and come up dirty you’re fired...if you ask for help, they’ll send you to rehab.

Why bother then?

UPS needed to make sure a Steward was there. If there were no Stewards available, they needed to have another hourly there to "represent" him.

This technicality could get him his job back.

Nope.

UPS only has to allow you to go to rehab for a positive random test.

Post accident and reasonable cause has no stipulation for rehab, before or after the test.

Although, for reasonable cause, UPS and the Union could agree to a lesser penalty other than discharge.

They don't have to, but it is contractually viable.

From what I can tell from his previews he is just a slightly more civilized Jerry Springer.

 

[watdaflock?]

UPS would only fire you for smelling like week if you're a horrible worker.
