  • PRE-EMPLOYMENT DRUG TESTING AND BACKGROUND CHECK DISCLOSURE CONSENT, AUTHORIZATION, AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

  • I,         , have applied for acceptance into the Plumbers, Pipe Fitters and Mechanical Equipment Service Local Union 392 Apprenticeship Program for the purpose of training and employment in the plumbing, pipe fitting and mechanical equipment service industry.

    As a condition of participation in the program, I understand and agree that I will be required to submit to pre-employment drug test. I understand that if the report of the test is positive, or if I refuse to submit to testing when requested to do so by the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee, or its representative, I may not be eligible for employment with any contractor under the bargaining agreement with Local Union No. 392, and therefore, I will not be eligible for the program. I hereby authorize and direct any medical review associated with the health care provider to release the report of my drug test to the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee, or its representative.

    I further agree to consent to undergo a background investigation. The background investigation will consist of a SSN Trace (to confirm identity), multiple criminal records inquiries for any contractor signatory with Local 392. The background check will be conducted in accordance with all applicable FCRA and EEOC guidelines as well as any federal, state, and local laws that may apply to the process. I understand that if the investigation indicates a felony conviction for any crime involving weapons or harm to individuals, I may not be eligible for the program. I understand that if the investigation indicates a felony arrest for any crime involving weapons or harm to individuals that has not been adjudicated, my eligibility for the program will be suspended until the matter is adjudicated resulting in no felony conviction on my record. If the matter is not resolved within 90 days from the date on investigation report, I understand that I will have to reapply for the program after that matter is adjudicated. An individual who is determined to be ineligible under this provision may appeal the matter in writing to the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee no later than 30 days of the notification of ineligibility.

    In consideration for the opportunity for employment in the plumbing, pipe fitting and mechanical equipment service industry, I hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee, its representatives, Local Union No. 392, The Mechanical Contractors Association, the health care provider, testing laboratory, the background investigation company, and their respective officers, trustees, directors, employees and agents from all liability, claim or cause of action arising from the administration or results of the drug testing program and background check.
