Random Drug and Alcohol Testing. Random drug and alcohol tests will be unannounced and spread reasonably throughout the year with no more than twenty-five (25) employees tested annually. There will be no pattern to when random drug and alcohol tests will be conducted and all on duty employees have an equal chance of being selected for testing from the random pool each time random tests are conducted. Employees shall remain in the pool even after being selected and tested. Therefore, an employee may be selected for a random test more than once during a year. The Chief and a member of the union executive board shall verify that all on duty employees are in the pool for random testing. The process of selecting employees for testing will be performed by the Chief in the presence of a union executive board member. Employee numbers shall be placed in a container and drawn by the Chief. The random selection of an employee will not result in that employee’s name being removed from any future selection process. Any employee randomly selected for a drug and alcohol test will be ordered to report as soon as available during their current shift. When an employee is informed that they have been randomly selected to undergo a drug or alcohol test, such employee shall be entitled to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ advisements. Under this section, the consequences of a positive drug or alcohol test shall be discharge.
