Top court asked to settle worker drug-testing battle - By Gordon Jaremko, Edmonton Journal
A commission panel ruled that electrician Donald Luka was not discriminated against when he lost a job with Lockerbie & Hole Inc. for failing a marijuana test required to work on a Syncrude contract.
Industry is following an 84-page drug and alcohol code devised by the Construction Owners Association of Alberta, which includes virtually all sponsors of large projects.
The document, titled the "Canadian model for providing a safe workplace," lays out standardized tests, employer and wage-earner rights, and formal legal and medical justifications for enforcing rules against recreational or habitual use of intoxicating substances.
