TORONTO.-<\/em> <\/strong>Un juez ha confirmado la decisi\u00f3n a la TTC de exigir que los empleados tomen ex\u00e1menes aleatorios de drogas y alcohol, a pesar de los intentos de su sindicato de bloquear la pol\u00edtica.<\/p>\n En un comunicado, la agencia de tr\u00e1nsito dijo que “sent\u00eda que ya no pod\u00eda esperar, dado el creciente n\u00famero de resultados de pruebas positivas en el lugar de trabajo y negativas de prueba, lo que podr\u00eda comprometer la seguridad de los empleados y del p\u00fablico”.<\/p>\n La TTC dijo que las pruebas al azar comenzar\u00e1n a finales de este mes despu\u00e9s de que el juez Frank Marrocco, jefe adjunto del Tribunal Superior de Ontario, negara la solicitud del sindicato de un mandato judicial.<\/p>\n \u00a0‘Un abuso del poder del empleador’<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n El sindicato 113 de la Uni\u00f3n de Tr\u00e1nsito Amalgamada (ATU), que representa a los empleados de TTC, tambi\u00e9n emiti\u00f3 un comunicado en el que declar\u00f3 que volver\u00e1 al arbitraje para revocar lo ellos llaman “una mala pol\u00edtica que no es m\u00e1s que un abuso del poder del empleador contra los trabajadores hombre y mujeres que mueven con seguridad esta ciudad. ”<\/p>\n “Aunque los trabajadores del transporte p\u00fablico est\u00e1n decepcionados con la decisi\u00f3n de este lunes, el juez dijo que estaba” convencido de que hay asuntos serios que deben ser juzgados en el arbitraje “, dijo Kevin Morton, secretario-tesorero del sindicato. “Nuestro sindicato est\u00e1 m\u00e1s energizado que nunca para seguir luchando en el arbitraje contra esta pol\u00edtica de la TTC que viola los derechos humanos b\u00e1sicos”.<\/p>\n La decisi\u00f3n de implementar pruebas aleatorias de alcohol y drogas fue aprobada por primera vez en 2011, luego de decenas de casos reportados en abuso de alcohol y drogas por parte de empleados en horas de trabajo.<\/p>\n Lal TTC probar\u00e1 al azar al 20 por ciento de sus m\u00e1s de 10.000 empleados anualmente, incluyendo operadores de veh\u00edculos, trabajadores de mantenimiento, supervisores, gerentes y ejecutivos.

La TTC dice que la tecnolog\u00eda s\u00f3lo determinar\u00e1 si el empleado est\u00e1 drogado en el momento de la prueba.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Judge upholds random drug testing of TTC employees<\/strong><\/em> A judge has upheld the TTC’s decision to require employees to take random drug and alcohol tests, despite attempts by their union to block the policy.<\/p>\n In a statement, the transit agency said “it felt that it could wait no longer, given the increasing number of positive workplace test results and test refusals it has seen, thereby potentially compromising employee and public safety.” ‘An abuse of employer power’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 113, which represents TTC employees, also released a statement stating that it will be back in arbitration to overturn “a bad policy that is nothing more than an abuse of employer power against the hardworking women and men who safely move this city.”<\/p>\n “While transit workers are disappointed with today’s ruling, the judge said himself he’s ‘satisfied that there are serious issues to be tried at arbitration,'” said Kevin Morton, secretary-treasurer of the union. “Our union is more energized than ever to continue fighting in arbitration against this TTC policy that violates basic human rights.”<\/p>\n The decision to implement random alcohol and drug testing was first approved in 2011.<\/p>\n The TTC will randomly test 20 per cent of its more than 10,000 employees annually, including vehicle operators, maintenance workers, supervisors, managers and executives. A third-party provider will generate a random list of workers and conduct the tests on the TTC’s behalf.<\/p>\n A breathalyzer will be used to test for alcohol and an oral swab will be used to test for drugs and prohibited substances like marijuana or cocaine. The TTC says the technology will only determine whether or not the employee is impaired at the time of testing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Juez sostiene pruebas de drogas aleatorias a empleados de TTC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5842,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,11191],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-470905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-canada","category-top-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5842"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470905"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":470908,"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470905\/revisions\/470908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diarioelpopular.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
