Dan Leger Speaks on Alcohol and Drug Testing

Overview

Daniel Leger spoke at the 16th Annual Canadian Bar Association’s Administrative Law, Labour and Employment Law Conference in Ottawa on November 27, 2015 on the topic of alcohol and drug testing in the workplace. In the 2013 Supreme Court of Canada decision in  Irving Pulp & Paper, Dan, along with  David Mombourquette and Joël Michaud, successfully argued that an employer policy of mandatory random alcohol testing was an unreasonable exercise of management’s authority. Dan’s paper, Employee Testing – A Bargaining Issue and Not a Battle for Experts, is available on the conference website for CBA members and conference attendees.
