 Subj : Pt 1/4: The Great Usenet Piss List Monthly Posting

Organization: Dixie Communications Public Access.  The Mouth of the South.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Please submit your entries for the list in the format of the table below.
  I will NO LONGER accept mis-formatted entries.  Too much work.

         The Great Usenet Just-Say-NO-to-PISS-TESTs Project
This is the Great Usenet Piss Test Registry Project Monthly Posting.

You will find two lists in this postings.  The first is a list
of companies that have PISS or other Human Quality test
programs as reported by first person experience.  The second
list is a list of companies that are known to have public
policies AGAINST the invasion of privacy and the violation of
Constitutional Protection that Human Quality tests constitute.

If you have FIRST PERSON experience (no rumors) with a company not on these
lists, please send a note, in the format of a record in the
tables below, to the following address:

  piss@dixie.com  <<<--- preferred, mailers like this domain
  piss@rsiatl.uucp  (old method)
  emory!dixie.com!piss
  uunet!dixie.com!piss

Your identity will be protected and all identifying data will be
deleted from DIXIE as soon as the list is updated.  I will attempt to
acknowledge your message but with mailers being what they are, if you
don't get an acknowledge, please send a duplicate.

***** Please NOTE:

    If you send information on a company, please try to fill in all fields
    in my form.  Particularly the "recourse" field.  Many people are
    forced to choose between the lesser of 2 evils and knowing what
    the company does beyond forcing the piss act is important.

Obtaining the Current List

If you would like to obtain a copy of this list at intervals other than
the first of the month, an automatic server will ship you a copy.  Simply
send mail to the above addresses and set the Subject: line to "send".
Any text in the message body is dropped.
Example:

Subject:  Send list

The list will be returned to you via your From: address.

Those of you not on the Internet should determine how to send mail
to and from an Internet address.

For those who desire a paper copy or who do not have electronic mail,
you may order a copy from me by sending $2.50 (Domestic), $5 (foreign)
to the following address:

John De Armond  C/O
Performance Engineering Magazine
PO Box 669728
Marietta, GA 30066

Tests other than Piss tests should also be reported to this list.  For
example, if your company has a mandatory medical test and requires the
right to release the results to insurance companies or others, you should
send a note. (I'm sorry, Mr. Smith.  Your life insurance policy has been
disapproved.  Your company medical test showed too much chlorestrol and
too high blood pressure.)

NOTE:  If you think an entry is incorrect, please let me know.  Be aware,
however, that I require **FIRST PERSON** experience or information in
order to place an entry in the list or to modify one.  If you work for
a division of a company listed herein and you believe the company
policy to be different than what is listed, be SURE to check with
your human resources department to verify COMPANY-WIDE policy before
asking me to correct something.  If ANY division of a company makes it
to the bad list, it is presumed all employees in that company are at risk
and thus the whole company is listed.  Such is the cost of corporations being
Washington Establishment-Correct.  Again, a company that does human
quality testing ANYWHERE within the corporation is considerd bad
and so listed.

If you are a corporate executive for a listed company and do not like seeing
your company on this list, you have two options:  a) if the entry is
factually incorrect, it will be corrected and b) you can drop the offending
practice.  In either event, send me an official company position on the
topic.  Otherwise save your energies.

                  **** Statement of Purpose ****

This list exists as a one man crusade (supported by a cast of thousands)
against the current Government sponsored terrorism sometimes called
the Drug War, and the resultant destruction of the Constitution.  This crusade
is about Constitutional protections, individual privacy and freedom.  It
is NOT an advocacy of the abuse of any mind-altering substance.  It is a
strong plea to consider the data contained herein when making purchasing
or employment decisions.

Note:  I try to keep this list with the columns aligned with spaces
  Occasionally, however, tabs creep in.  This list is formatted with
  tabstops set to 4.  To properly view the list in vi, execute the
  command :set tabstop=4.  To properly print this file, route it
  through pr(1) with the command line pr -e4 -o4 piss.list |lp
  for Sys V.  For BSD or other systems, you're on your own :-)

Permission To Copy

I hereby grant permission to reproduce this list intact anywhere as long as
the purpose of the reproduction is to inform people about and/or fight
human quality testing.  It may not be reproduced by anyone unfriendly
to this cause or used in any manner in the Drug War on the Constitution.
It also may not be reproduced in any manner that could be construed to
promote illegal drug use.  Publication in "DEA Today" would be strictly
prohibited, for example.  Publication in "High Times" might be OK,
depending on the context.  I suggest you contact me if you have doubts.
Credit to the list's publisher (me) and information on obtaining updated
copies of this list must be retained.

Important Notice
----------------

09/06/93
All DOE Federal Contractors will be required to negotiate some
version of substance abuse testing as part of a national program.
Employees at SLAC, Stanford University, have learned that many
different accomodations to this requirement have been achieved
depending on workplace risks.

The DOE rule which applies appeared in the Federal Register
on July 22, 1992, page 32652, (Vol57, No141)

Comment Legend:

1.  There is no testing of any kind and the company has made a public
    policy statement against any such testing.

2.  There is no testing but the company has not made a policy statement
    public and/or has no policy.

Notes:

[1] CEO is Ryal Poppa and is reported to be on personal crusade.
    Address:
        2770 So. 88th St.
        Louisville, CO, 80027

[2] Dearborn, Mi

[3] This is taken from Varian Network, a news letter to employees.  About
    positive results in the interview process, it said  that after an
    employment offer is accepted the employee provide a urine sample.  If it
    tests positive the employee will meet with a medical officer.  If the
    positive result is confirmed the offer of employment is recinded and the
    person may not reapply for 6 months.

[4] The testing company will re-test *the same sample* on a positive result;
    if the re-test is positive the candidate is not hired.  There is *no* retest
    from a different sample.

[5] Lynchburg, VA.  The personnel director is: Larry Langhans

[6] Texas Instruments, Lewisville, TX plant, fairly certain that all other
    Texas plants are also doing it (especially Dallas).

[7] tests for: cocaine, amphetamines, pcp, marijuana. only tests for
    5-8 substances. If the first test is positive, the sample is
    subjected to a more detailed test.  If both tests are positive,
    a medical review officer contacts the employee and asks about
    medication; the employee has an opportunity to have medical
    review officer call every one of his/her doctors. If medical
    review officer determines that no legal substance caused a
    positive test, employee's supervisor and management chain are
    ntoified. Employee can be sent to mandatory drug counseling and
    follow-up testing, or fired. On any following positive test,
    employee will be fired unless department head intervenes. There
    is a wider range of disciplinary actions than indicated here.

[8] contract house: they ask if you will take the test
    on the application form.  I was told that most
    clients who do not test wish only contract help
    that is willing to be tested (like requiring the
    test without performing it).

[9] Must sign a waiver giving company rights to use results of test in any
    way they wish.  (I assume this includes sharing the results with other
    possible employers and/or Insurance Company Data Banks.)

[10] Only applicable to `inside' contractors and regular employees.  Testing
    not required for `outside' contractors.

[11] Topaz is a subsidiary of Square D corp.

[12] CostCo is a wholesale consumer goods store that has signs outside
     proudly proclaiming that they abuse their employees with piss tests.

[13] Each business unit in AT&T sets its own policies.  Bell Labs and
     certain other units do NOT test.

[14] Corporate medical director keeps copies of ALL test results.

[15] Reliable Rumor has it that SCO is quite a party company!

[16] This company has a drug-free environment statement on file but
     does not test.

[17] they run a check on your dmv and if you have outstanding failure to appears
   dui, etc. they don't hire you.

[18] Company has an official drug-free workplace statement which prohibits
    posession or use of illegal drugs on company premises, and prohibits
    reporting for work while under the influence of any illegal drug or
    alcohol.  No attempt is made to prescribe employees' activities during
    their off hours.

[19] It was asked why they hadn't published their "drug-free
    workplace" policy in their help-wanted ad, like other companies.
    The answer: US Windpower doesn't want to foster an image as
  a "conservative company."

[20] Psych. Profile testing is not required for individual contributors.
    However, a satisfactory Psych. Profile Test is a prerequisite for entry
    into management.


[21] Hewlett-Packard's pre-employment drug testing will be resumed on
    January 1, 1994 at sites in Boise, Idaho; Vancouver, Washington;
    Corvallis, Oregon, and Roseville, California.  Testing at all other
    U.S. locations will follow beginning March 1.

[22] Brooktree is a company that DOES NOT do Human Quality Testing.
    In fact, every employee is given a plaque with the "Brooktree Values":

    value #6 reads:  "Brooktree believes everyone - including employees,
                  customers, shareholders, and suppliers - should be
                  treated with mutual trust, honesty and respect."

    Value #7 reads:  "Bureaucracy is counter-productive to the efficiency
                  of a rapidly growing company.  Systems are created to
                  to facilitate, not complicate, the smooth operation of
                  the business."

    Value #10 reads: "We believe informality promotes goodwill and leads
                  to a creative and productive environment.  Brooktree's
                  operating style is characterized by informal meetings,
                  open doors, frequent on-site social gatherings,
                  comfortable dress, and use of first names."

  Brooktree has on-site monthly parties with beer, wine and live bands.
  Beer and wine are also served at "all-employees meetings".

[23] Testing is performed before offer is given (ie. offer is contingent
  upon successful completion of the tests).  Unsure as to what recourse is
  taken if tests are not completed, but it would appear that no consent
  to testing would prevent an offer of employment from being made.

[24] Litwin is "AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE HOUSTON DRUG FREE WORKPLACE INITIATIVE
   (or whatever else the DEA is calling itself these days")  They have
   instituted a random test/random search of office and person.
   Recourse is undefined at this point, but the announcement stated that
   one could seek confidential counseling prior to being asked to take a
   test but not after.

[25] Comdisco allows certain valuable employees who will not take a piss
   test to work as contractors.  The definition of hyopcrisy.

[26] Sony Corporation of America, including Sony Workstations in San Jose.

[27] No hire after positives on initial and automatic re-test
[28] other - company requires submission of Social Security Number with
            resume for any consideration.  Also is smoke-free work
            environment.

[29] T.J. Rogers told the press, "If I instituted drug testing
            at Cypress, I would get a brick through my windshield.
            And I would deserve it."

[30] Formerly GE Consulting Services.
[31] Formerly GE Aerospace.
[32] also: Merck, Sharp, and Dohme; Astra-Merck Inc, DuPont-Merck Inc.
   Blood and piss are drawn for drug screen.  Urine test done first, if
   positive, check is done with blood.  Blood is also drawn for blood
   chemistry - cholesterol, etc.  Full physical on new-hire and return
   from any disability, including hearing, vision, EKG, chest XRAY,
   blood pressure, pulse, pulse under stress, and complete medical
   history.  Any medications are disclosed at this time (prior to
   test of urine/blood).

[33] Additional urine test required after returning from 12 or more months
   of extended leave.  Also has a no smoking policy -- no smoking anywhere on
   the grounds, including in your own car if parked on the grounds.

[34] Atlantic Research Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEQUA,
    has a policy that encompasses random drug testing but, in practice,
    does no drug testing at the present time because of the expense.

[35]  The company also reserves the right to search an employee's vehicle and
    person upon reasonable suspicion.

[36] The following note was received regarding The Registry, a member of
  the "bad" list.  I have asked her to correct any errors there may
  be in the entry.  Since she has not done so, I've placed her original
  note here.  I should also note that a recent issue of "Inc" magazine
  (9/93 or 10/93), in a report promoting human quality testing,
  used The Registry as a case study.  While the report did not mention
  drug testing per se, it DID metion their use of personality testing.

 From : The great Usenet Piss Test List     1:2613/335      Sun 01 May 94 05:00 
 To   : All                                                                     
 Subj : Pt 4/4: The Great Usenet Piss List Monthly Posting                      

  I serve as the Director of Corporate Services at The Registry, Inc.
    I have just received a copy of your publication titled the Great
    Usenet Piss Test Registry Project Monthly Posting and see you have
    used our name in this listing.

    The information you posted on The Registry, is inaccurate.
    Please take the necessary steps to obtain the correct information,
    or remove The Registry from that list.  This is slanderous
    information, and request you to remove it.

    Rita C. Stevens
    rstevens@tri.com

[37] In addition to the information you provide (which is accurate BTW):

  1.  There is also a random search policy for individuals, their
      personal effects, and, *with a warrant*, their homes.

  2.  Employees are terminated for misuse of *legal*, over-the-counter
      drugs, such as Sudafed.  If you take more than the recommended
      dose, you will be terminated.  Isn't *that* special ;-(

[38]  This has to be the prototypical anti-piss-testing policy statement:

    FringeWare Inc.  hereby resolves, by unanimous approval of the
    shareholders and Board of Directors, that it opposes any and all forced
    drug testing of its employees and will not establish any policies which
    conflict with this publicly stated position.  Moreover, FringeWare Inc.
    will hereafter endeavor to encourage its vendors and subcontractors to
    follow suit in countermanding oppression by pee-sniffing fascists who
    would usurp our individual rights, and the Board of Directors has
    collectively vowed to piss on anybody who tries to make us initiate
    testing.

    Signed: Jon Lebkowsky, President
            Paco Xander Nathan, Vice President
  [update 07/07/93]
    FWI vice president Paco Xander Nathan sued Motorola over their drug testing
    (and won, upheld last month in the 5th Circuit Appeals Court), before
  leaving to help build smaller, more adaptive firms.


[39] If tested positive the lab will do another test with the same sample
    and you may request another test within 72 hours at a company approved
    lab at your expense.
    If tested positive on pre-hire, they will not hire you. You may reapply
    in 45 days.
    If tested positive while working, there is a mandatory 10 days off w/o
    pay and must test negative before returning to work. There will 4 more
    random tests within the next 12 months.
    If there is second positive, 15 days off w/o pay & 8 tests in the next
    24 months.
    Third test - TERMINATION
    Results will be in personnel record for 2 years

[40] NOTE:  Citibank tests only for cocaine, heroin, pcp, amphetamines, and
    barbiturates.  No marijuana or psychadelics (except pcp) are scanned for.

[41]   Management has considered instituting potency testing of certain drugs,
       but lacks consensus on which drugs to test, so it remains at the
       employees' discretion.
