Though the Arizona Supreme Court found Mesa’s random drug testing to be outside the “closely guarded category of constitutionally permissible suspicionless searches”, a number of Appeals Court cases have upheld drug testing of firefighters in general, finding that that they do serve in “safety-sensitive” positions.
Discuss whether your fire department or another fire department in your state has a random drug testing program. Briefly outline the provisions of the program. Also, explain if and how this program is addressed in your union’s collective bargaining agreement with your employer.
