[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 3959253, member: 8481"] You need to file a grievance if they did not let you work today. You need to have the Union involved. You may not necessarily have to do their treatment program, but you also may not be able to work while on methadone. Even with a script, the issue is methadone. Article 35 Section 3.17 of the NMUPSA [I]b. Review the employee’s medical history and relevant biomedical factors. A driver is allowed to use a controlled substance [B](except for methadone) [/B]only when taken as prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner who is familiar with the driver’s medical history and assigned duties.[/I] I know it says driver, but we have lost grievances for non drivers being on methadone under this language. Good luck and I hope things work out. [/QUOTE]
