LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING #8 - Article 12, Section N.—Drug and Alcohol Testing

The Office of the State Employer and the Michigan Corrections Organization agree to the following decreases/increases to non-OTETA random drug and alcohol testing.

Effective February 2005, the random test pool was decreased from 15% to 10%. Using calendar year 2004 as a base, if there is an increase in the percentage of positive test results, the employer reserves the right to increase the testing percentage back to 15%. If there is a decrease in the percentage for positive test results, the Office of the State Employer will meet with MCO within 30 days of the date percentage data is provided to the Union to discuss potential further reductions in the percentages of employees to be randomly tested.

The Office of the State Employer will provide data on testing percentages annually upon request by the MCO.
