[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1626915, member: 8481"] The SAP program only applies to feeder drivers who fail a pre-employment or random drug test. It does not apply in your case. I cannot give you any idea what will transpire at the State Panel. I have not seen this situation come up at the panel before. It is possible that you may receive a termination reduced to a suspension, but I do not know that I would count on that. UPS has zero tolerance for workplace violence and drugs. You are in a gray area, it is legal in your state, but laws have not been written regarding marijuana and employment. But the contract, at the moment is specific, and final and binding under both parties. You are subject to being under 15 ng/ml Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THCA). Apparently, you were over this threshold and admitted to using marijuana. If you are under Teamcare, you do not have insurance for any week that you do not work. If your State Panel hearing is not until next month, you will not have insurance. If you are not under Teamcare, you need to check with your insurance. I believe you said 8 years. You have been here long enough that you should know, and care, about your benefits. If you do lose your job, you have the opportunity to pay for COBRA. You can keep your insurance for up to 18 months, I believe. But it will be expensive. In the vicinity of $900-$1100 per month. You may find it cheaper on the exchanges. I am not going to lecture you about drugs, but I do have one thing to say. It is too late for you, but maybe someone else may learn from this. Why in the hell did you let them drug test you for? You said the doctor made a mistake. No, you made the mistake. Package drivers are not subject to random drug tests. You were there for your DOT physical. If the doctor, or nurse comes in and starts the process for a drug test, kindly inform them that you are not subject to a drug test. You are there for a DOT renewal and are not a feeder driver. They will realize their mistake and discontinue with the drug test. Good luck and I hope the panel gives you a second chance. They can agree to send you to rehab, even though it does not apply to you. [/QUOTE]
