[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1085507, member: 42270"] The example you gave is why I actually like our contract language on drug use - I feel that it strikes a good balance between personal privacy and public safety. Drug tests occur after an accident or upon reasonable cause suspicion arising from two (2) supervisors trained in drug awareness observing suspicious behavior. The suspected employee is allowed to have a union rep present and can opt to give a blood sample at the same time as his urine sample; if the blood test is negative (meaning they weren't stoned at work) then the urine sample is tossed out. Should someone be allowed to smoke a joint and drive a package car or an irreg train? Absolutely not. Should they be punished for doing the same on the weekend when they don't have to report to the job? Again, absolutely not. I don't care what my brain surgeon or my air plane pilot does on the weekend, as long as he's qualified and sober as a judge when he's on the job. [/QUOTE]
