Common use of DRUG POLICY Clause in Contracts

DRUG POLICY. The Union, in cooperation with the AMPD, shall administer a drug testing program covering all bargaining unit members employed by AMPD Employers and any other Employer signatory to this Agreement. To the extent that drug testing is required by an outside entity that employs our members as a condition for admission to their jobsite or facility or as a result of an accident, drug testing will be accepted without question. In addition, the Union and AMPD will also institute drug testing for “cause” as determined by a mutual agreement of both parties. If both parties are not in agreement on a request by either party, drug testing of a member will not be performed. In the case of an outside entity, the testing will be paid for by the Employer or the entity requesting the test. When testing is mutually agreed upon by the signatory contractor and the Union, the cost will be split by the parties. Results of these tests will be confidential between the designees of the Union and the Contractor requesting the testing. If an Employee who is identified for testing refuses to comply, they will be deemed to have tested positive. Any member who tests positive may not return to work for any signatory Employer until they have made arrangements and/or enrolled in a self-help program through ATAP.
