The Supreme Court of Canada says an employer who wants to impose random alcohol
testing on unionized workers in a dangerous work environment must show it is a
reasonable move.
The court ruled Friday that a mandatory random alcohol testing policy imposed
by Irving Pulp and Paper at a Saint John, N.B., kraft mill in 2006 was
unreasonable and was properly rejected by a labour arbitration board. In a 6-3
decision, the justices sided with the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers
Union of Canada, which brought a grievance against the Irving policy.
