What is the name of your state? TN I worked a goodyear tire and rubber for 12 yrs on aug 19 2003 I had an accident and was caught in a conveyor it burned the skin off my left arm fromthe elbow to the armpit and tore my shoulder. I was subjected to a post accident drug and alachol screen which they accused me of a positive test for marijuana I DO NOT USE DRUGS! I did not get to see a Dr for 6 hrs. I went and paid for my own drug test a hair test which said I was clean for at least 90 days back which more than covered the time of my accident. Since then i had 12 drug tests which I passed all except one they said was abnormal they said they did not know why but its abnormal. I was harassed by the HR man who said I tampered with my drug test he said it did not appear to be human urine I gave he even got right in my face and screamed at me. I went to the company EEOC and said he was harassing me. The EEOC said its ok and theres nothing I can do about it. I called the national harassment hotline and they turned it over to goodyear and they sent me a letter saying the HR man could not have harassed me he is not even in this plant. They transfered him just weeks before I received this letter. I was under a Dr's care for depression from work and was taking lexapro and ambien one of these medications gave me direaha I was taken to first aid to take another drug test I had direaha and had a very hard time they said I could not use the bathroom until I gave a sample. The results of this test said insufficent sample volume and I was fired. When I filed an appeal for unemployment the man from goodyear said I was fired because I refused to drink water to help me pee. I am waiting on an arbitration but do not know when. My union does nothing to help me and don't tell me anything. Do I have a chance at getting my job back and can I file a harassment or discrimination claim because they did not do this to anyone else. Can I bring up charges against my union for lack of represintion?
