My ex worked in a Unionized job at Amtrak. The union will defend members for almost anything (one tried to run down his boss with a truck, and they defended him!), but there are automatic consequences to failing a drug test. They did fight to get rehab included.

To further answer the questions, Rob, I suppose one always has a choice.
You don't *have* to prove anything or provide samples, but if you
don't, then the consequence of that is that you lose your employment or
you are not hired.
I've never worked in a place where employees were unionized, but I'm
guessing that might affect things.

If it is accepted that you and I must be subjected for drug testing in

government assistance in the form of welfare or unemployment be
subjected to the same random screening and terms?
Why should anyone have to 'prove' that they did not use illegal drugs
in the past (whatever time they show up for)?

I had to list all medications, prescription and OTC taken in the last 10
days.

Why should anyone have
to provide a sample of anything so someone (or thing in the case of a
government body) can use it against them?

To answer your question,
