drug testing policy

[Mugarolla]

My sup said if I put in a bid for the feeder side down the road and didn't already have a CDL which I don't, they'd send me to school for it.

Then you will need a pre-CDL drug test and be subject to random testing.

Times must me changing. I was required to get a CDL.

I thought all mechanics did. I learned something today.

Does anybody know the policies on drug testing for package car drivers and loaders? If a driver is involved in an accident are they drug tested and if so is it "one and done" if you fail? If a loader what are grounds to drug test?

Best option is to stop doing drugs.

Or make sure you always have clean urine.

We had a package car mechanic fail a random drug test. Never saw him again.

We have two mechanics and both have their CDL as they work on package cars and tractors.

Depends on how willing you are to go along with the consequences and if you repent well enough.

Stop doing drugs. If you want to do them, stop driving a commercial vehicle. I hear fast food might go to $15 per hour.

We had a PE mechanic who failed an alcohol test and when offered a chance to rehabilitate and have his job back refused. Some people would rather be high or drink then have what a well paying job can provide for them.

What if OP just has a sup who hates him and is abusing the policy to make OP jump through unnecessary hoops? In other words what if a sup is using a drug test as a form of harassment?

If that is the case it makes most of you come off as whiny self righteous dickheads.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

There has to be cheaper, more convenient ways to harass somebody.

That's why you get high and drunk when you're not on the clock lol

How about when you have to clock in 2 or 3 hours after party time?

Then you file a grievance on it. But usually if you don't have to worry about it you just say what is the policy for drug testing?

I doubt they would use that as a form of harassment being as costly as it is.

Oh yes they would. Do not underestimate some supervisors ability to harass employees with a target on their back.

What a Sup do something under handed? Know they have ethics. They would never single a person out and try and get rid of them.

So to file a grievance one would want to know what the contract says right? hmmm......

So in management school do they tell you guys the tricks to use to subvert the contract?
