Please read the section below regarding the formatting of entries
|
|||
|
|
you might send to this list to be included. I will NO LONGER
|
|||
|
|
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@dixie.com <<<--- preferred, mailers like this domain
|
|||
|
|
piss@rsiatl.uucp (old method)
|
|||
|
|
emory!dixie.com!piss
|
|||
|
|
uunet!dixie.com!piss
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your identity will be protected and all identifying data will be
|
|||
|
|
deleted from DIXIE 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.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you would like to obtain a copy of this list at intervals other than
|
|||
|
|
the first of the month, an automatic server will 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.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**** 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 :-)

[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.

|
[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.)
|

[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 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 plans are indefinitely
|
|||
|
|
"on hold". That is, we're not doing drug testing now, and we have no
|
|||
|
|
definite date when it will be implemented in the future.

|
|
[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.
