Construction workers caught drinking - By Alan Cohn, WTNH.com, CT
While many other states allow contractors to conduct random drug tests, Connecticut law makes it difficult. Employers can only do it for safety sensitive jobs and the Department of Labor has to approve it.
"The problem with that is the DOL which oversees this doesn't not have adequate staffing to really do it so it can often take 18-months or more to get approved," John Farnham, of
Associate General Contractors, said.
The construction industry has been unable to get the legislature to change the law even though unions like the iron workers, carpenters, and operating engineers have all agreed to allow construction companies to conduct random tests.------------------------------------------- posted 6:28 AM :: reference link ::
