[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2882063, member: 8481"] Like I said before, if I misunderstood your question, I apologize. We were seemingly talking about different scenarios. You are correct that if you test positive on a "random" (feeder drivers only), you are not immediately terminated. You are given a one time rehab shot. The issue we were discussing was reasonable cause testing, the OP's situation. If you test positive on a reasonable cause or post accident, it is grounds for immediate termination, everywhere, whether you are impaired or not. [B][I]National Master[/I][/B] [I][/I] [B][I]ARTICLE 35[/I][/B] [I] Section 3.13 Disciplinary Action Employees may be subject to discipline up to and including discharge as provided below if they test positive for drugs specified elsewhere in this Article. 1. Reasonable Cause Testing (a) A positive test is a dischargeable offense unless the Union and the Employer expressly agree to a lesser penalty. Any such agreement will not be precedent setting. (b) Refusal to submit to a reasonable cause drug test is a dischargeable offense. 2. Post-Accident Testing (a) A positive test is a dischargeable offense. (b) Refusal to submit to a post-accident drug test is a dischargeable offense. 3. Random Testing (a) 1st offense - A positive test shall result in a warning letter (subject to successful completion of rehabilitation). (b) 2nd offense - A positive test is a dischargeable offense. (c) Refusal to submit to a random drug test is a dischargeable offense. 3. Pre-qualification (a) 1st offense - A positive test shall result in disqualification/not considered for feeder list until the next feeder driver school is conducted (subject to successful completion of rehabilitation). (b) 2nd offense - A positive test is a dischargeable offense.[/I] [/QUOTE]
