Alcohol and Controlled Substance Testing

Alcohol and controlled substance issues implicate the intersection of on-duty and off-duty conduct, fitness for duty, compliance with state and federal licensing regulations, and the approved medical use of controlled substances, including medical marijuana. These issues may also intersect with collective bargaining obligations and compliance with state and federal EEO laws, requiring a wholistic approach to get employers to the right legal and practical results. Our labor attorneys routinely navigate these intersecting areas, providing sound practical advice based on industry and employer needs.
