Drug Testing Clause
(Collective Bargaining Agreement)

Summary

This drug testing clause sets forth the parties' agreement as to the circumstances under which the unionized employer will test employees for drug and alcohol. It is intended for inclusion in a collective bargaining agreement between an employer and the union representing its employees. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and optional clauses. This clause is intended for private employers. It is based on federal law and does not address all potential state law distinctions; thus, you should check any relevant state and local laws.
