The Trustees of the Indiana Union Construction Industry Substance Abuse Trust Fund ("Fund") shall have the authority to amend the terms of the Policy to which employees working under this Agreement will be subject. The Administration of the Policy will be funded by contributions to the Fund. The Trustees of the Fund shall have the authority to determine the amount to be contributed by signatory Employers to defray the cost of the Policy. The Trustees may set the contribution at any rate up to ten cents ($.10) per hour depending on the Trustees' assessment of the amount needed to fund the Policy adequately to fulfill its purposes. Once the rate has been set, the Trustees may adjust the rate of contribution from time to time within the parameters set forth above, provided the Trustees give the Employer(s) at least sixty (60) days notice of any such adjustment.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE TESTING PROGRAM. The Employer may implement a mandatory substance abuse testing policy (covering drugs and alcohol), provided the policy is applicable to all employees in the Department. Prior to implementing the policy, the Employer will consult with Union representatives from both bargaining units about procedures and standards. The right to conduct testing under the policy is independent of any authority granted by the federal Government, but the testing methodology shall be consistent with federal Department of Health and Human Service guidelines and certifications. The policy may include (1) Applicant testing; (2) Random, unannounced testing; (3) Reasonable suspicion testing; (4) Accident or unsafe practice testing; (5) Voluntary testing, and (6) Testing as part of or as a follow-up to counseling, rehabilitation or last-chance agreements. A properly confirmed positive test establishing substance abuse, a refusal to submit to substance abuse testing or to provide a sample without good medical cause, or an established attempt to adulterate a sample or falsify results, constitutes just cause for termination. However, if a positive test result occurs in random or voluntary tests of an employee with seniority and there is no other evidence of violation of Departmental policies, procedures or regulations, a last chance agreement shall be offered to the employee. Such an agreement will include removal from active duty until the employee is medically certified as fit to return to work, participation in and successful completion of a rehabilitation program approved by the Employer, periodic unannounced follow-up testing, authorization for disclosure of relevant medical information to the Employer, and an agreement to termination of employment if the employee violates any provision of the agreement within three years. Such an agreement may, in the sole discretion of the Employer, be offered to an employee who is not entitled to an agreement under this section
