You guys just blew my socks off. Thanks for responding.
You are a supportive bunch.
What is fascinating is how testing is nuts, no matter how much I learn, I find there is more.
I am only familiar with mandated testing, which I would expect to be more carefully enforced.
Let me throw this out.
What law did they break if they don't comply? I mean the lab, the mro, the employer or collection site. Not one, not if it is government mandated. If you have a contract through a union, or individually with your tester, that makes a big difference. But, if you're simply at-will, you're in trouble.
Imagine you go to your local police and tell them so-and-so won't release a copy of his COC ply from your test. Or the mro won't ask the lab for the lit packet. Go to your state rep or senator. Ask the DOT, the FMCSA, the FAA on and on. The carefully crafted regulations which lay out exactly what the different participants must do, don't mean nothing when push comes to shove.
Go to court with the best attorney in the world. What is he/she gonna do? Get a court order? Under what jurisdiction? Who owns the pee? Who owns all the paperwork? Many agree that it belongs to the guy who paid for it.
I am your employer.
I don't like you.
I want to get rid of you.
How, w/o getting in trouble and w/o paying you UC?
Let's see. If I say you failed your drug test, that's an automatic disqualification. Besides, man, we are fighting a war on drugs and I'll look like I'm just doing me duty.
No one will suspect nothin.
The burden is on the falsely accused and no one is gonna believe him anyhow.
