MOST ON SHIVELY COUNCIL OPPOSE DRUG-TEST PLAN

A proposal to start random drug testing of Shively city employees is facing opposition from a majority of the Shively City Council.

Mayor Sherry Conner proposed the idea, which is expected to be considered for a vote at Monday's council meeting.

It would require 69 of the city's 81 employees to submit to drug testing for controlled and illegal substances and participate in annual classes about the dangers of workplace drug use and its potential impact on co-workers.  The city's dozen public works employees hold commercial drivers' licenses and already submit to ongoing random drug testing.
