Though the Arizona Supreme Court found Mesa’s random drug testing to be outside the “closely guarded category of constitutionally permissible suspicionless searches”, a number of Appeals Court cases have upheld drug testing of firefighters in general, finding that that they do serve in “safety-sensitive” positions.

Discuss whether your fire department or another fire department in your state has a random drug testing program. Briefly outline the provisions of the program. Also, explain if and how this program is addressed in your union’s collective bargaining agreement with your employer.

Your response should be at least 300 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
