Newsgroups: misc.jobs.contract,misc.jobs.misc,talk.politics.drugs,misc.headlines,alt.privacy,misc.consumers From: piss@rafferty.com (Piss List Maintainer) Subject: The Great Usenet Piss List Monthly Posting Date: Wed, 1 Feb 1995 05:02:04 GMT Message-ID: [ I would like to extend my sincere apologies. I have been lax in keeping this up to date. Within the next week, I will bring this list into the 1990s through a much better WWW interface. -Colin ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please submit your entries for the list in the format of the table below. I will NOT 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@rafferty.com <<<--- preferred, mailers like this domain uunet!rafferty.com!piss Your identity will be protected and all identifying data will be deleted from RAFFERTY.COM 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, there are three different methods of getting it. If you have direct access to Internet, you can get the list via anonymous ftp from the directory ftp://rafferty.com/pub/piss/, or through the World Wide Web. An automatic server can also 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 at all 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: Colin Rafferty 689 Columbus Avenue Apartment 4H New York, NY 10025-7004 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 considered 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) ---------------- ****************************************************************************** **************************** The Bad List ************************************ ****************** Companies that violate your rights. *********************** ****************************************************************************** Company Test When Recourse Other Info Date Post Date ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3M 1 1,3 1 - 03/05/92 03/05/92 Abbott Labs 1,5 1,3,6 2 or 5 3 03/04/93 03/04/93 (Chicago,IL) (situation dependent) ADP 1 1 1,7,9 7 03/01/94 Aetna Life & 1 1 2 - 04/01/90 11/14/90 Casualty AEL 1 1 3 - 10/01/92 Aerojet 1,2,5 1 9 - 08/27/92 09/01/92 Alaska Pipeline 1 2 ? - 01/31/95 01/31/95 Service Company ARC, 1 2 7 - 01/25/93 04/02/93 (sub. of SEQUA) [34] ARGOSystems 1 1 6,9 - 04/05/91 05/21/91 ARCO Oil and [20] Gas Co. 1,2,5 1,4 6,9 - 01/03/92 01/03/92 ARCO Exploration & Production [20] Advanced Data 1 1 6,9 - 01/06/92 01/06/92 Processing (ADP) Technology 1,2,5 1,4 6,9 - 01/03/92 01/03/92 Air Touch Comm 1 1 6,9 7 03/10/93 03/10/93 ALCOA 1 1 - - 11/01/93 06/04/94 AT&T 1 2,5 - 04/15/92 05/01/92 AT&T Technologies, 1 1,2 - - 12/09/90 12/09/90 Burlington, NC AT&T Paradyne 1 [4] 1,2 6,7,9 3 06/05/91 06/05/91 AT&T Network Cable 1 1,2 - - 07/04/91 07/04/91 Systems, Omaha Bailey Controls Co. 1,5,6 1 - - 01/01/87 11/11/92 Wickliffe, OH BANK ONE 1 1 - - 10/01/92 10/01/92 Banctec 1,10 1,2,3,6 4,9 - - 10/01/93 03/05/92 UNLV 2 1 1 - 11/01/92 11/14/93 Bath Iron Works 1 1,3 1 - 11/14/90 11/14/90 BDM, Huntsville AL 1 1 6,9 - 12/15/91 01/06/92 BDM Federal 1 1,2,4 6,1 - 04/--/94 06/07/94 BNR, Inc (US) 1 1 1 7 08/11/93 08/11/93 Bellcore 5 1 - - 06/01/91 06/01/91 Biorad 1 1,3 - - 11/15/90 11/15/90 Boeing 1 1 3 - 10/01/92 10/01/92 BMC Software 2 1 1 - 08/01/93 11/14/93 CAPITAL CITIES 1 1 - - 10/01/92 10/01/92 Chem.

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] These are retail stores that have 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. JGD ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
