[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 875030, member: 18044"] Granted everything is subject to interpretation, especially our (deliberately) vaguely worded UPS Contract. But Article 35, Section 3 on drug testing, and Section 4 on alcohol testing is thirty detailed pages long. That's prety specific. Besides, the proceedures have been developed by the Dept. of Transportation, and there are reams of details, interpretations, and court judgements already in place, as these proceedures have been used for a number of years by now. "Reasonable cause is defined as an employee’s observable action, appearance, or conduct that clearly indicate the need for a fitness-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." [/QUOTE]
