The New MMCA Drug and Alcohol Policy

On January 1, 2006 a new Pipe Trades Alcohol and Drug Policy and Program began. The Policy and Program covers employees of the St. Paul Pipefitter No. 455, St. Paul Plumbers Local No. 34 and Mankato areas, Minneapolis Plumbers Local No. 15, and Minneapolis Pipefitters Local No. 539 and the St. Cloud areas, and Rochester Local 6 area.

 

Plumbers - both locals' program and policy include four types of testing: pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, post incident, and work opportunity mandated testing (required by owners, general contractors, site specific jobs, or government agencies).

Pipefitters - both locals' program and policy include three types of testing: reasonable suspicion, post-incident, and work opportunity mandated testing (required by owners, general contractors, site specific jobs, or government agencies). Pre-employment testing is not included in the Pipefitters program.

 

The Procedural Manual for the program was developed and is administered by Total Employee Assistance Management (TEAM). The Policy/Procedural Manual and collection sites can be located by following the link at the bottom of this page.
