Drug and Alcohol Testing for Safety Sensitive Employees. The Company Drug and Alcohol Policy as it pertains to safety sensitive Operators are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Union agrees to this portion of Company’s Drug and Alcohol Policy which is a no tolerance policy and a refusal or positive test as outlined in the federal regulations will result in discharge. The Parties agree to be bound by the Federal Transit Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations regarding drug and alcohol testing. The policy as required from time to time must be modified to comply with these regulations. The Company and the Union are committed to having a drug-free workplace. The parties also agree to be bound by all current and future federal requirements as outlined in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for drug and alcohol testing. All Operators will be offered Union representation when the Company conducts all reasonable suspicion and post- accident testing. If the employee declines representation, they will sign a Union Representation Waiver form. However, under no circumstances will the collection be delayed for representative to arrive. Suspicion is not reasonable unless based upon specific, contemporaneous and articulable observations concerning behavior speech or appearance of a safety sensitive employee and observed by trained supervisory personnel. All drug and alcohol testing will be administered by an independent third party tester. There will be no interference or involvement from the Company or the Union once the testing procedures have started. Any Operator who is suspended from work pending test results will be paid until the results are known. After the results are known, the Company shall determine if any discipline is necessary. To help achieve a drug and alcohol free workplace and encourage any Operator with related problems to self-refer, the Company offers a free and confidential Employee Assistance Program (E.A.P) to all of its employees. If referred to a recovery program and released to work the Operator will be subject to return to duty testing and follow up testing for a minimum of thirty-six (36) months. Self-referral must occur prior to any notice of required random, post-accident, or reasonable suspicion testing.
