From the author: This study uses 226 arbitration cases published by the Bureau of National Affairs and the Commerce Clearing House to examine the impact of drug testing on the arbitral decision-making process. Contrary to the intuitive notion that drug testing procedures can confirm alcohol and drug use and thus improve the chances that management will win the arbitration, our findings suggest that the presence of drug testing does not significantly impact arbitral outcomes. We also find that drug testing is used more frequently in cases involving illicit drugs than in those involving alcohol. Finally, the arbitrators' applications of the tests of just cause were not affected by the presence of drug testing in either alcohol- or drug-related cases.
