Paper Abstract: A study of on-the-job substance use or possession. Use of arbitration and arbitration decisions. Contends that employee possession of narcotics on the job is considered more serious than on the job alcohol use. Assesses effect of employee gender on arbitration decisions and termination cast-type. Statistical analysis of topic. Four Tables. Paper Introduction: ARBITRATION DECISIONS IN EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION CASES INVOLVING SUBSTANCE USE OR POSSESSION: THE RELATIVE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL VERSUS NARCOTICS CHARGES Introduction Arbitration (through the Federal Arbitration Act of 1925, subsequent federal labor-management legislation, and federal court rulings) is a prominent part of labor-management relations in the United States (Hayford, 2000; Feller, 1998). Among the more contentious cases committed to arbitration are those involving employee termination. Approximately 18 percent of all labor arbitration cases involve employee termination (Mesch & Shamayeva, 1996). Among the many employee behaviors motivating termination actions by employers is on-the-job substance use or possession. F Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below.
