Just before I left Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in late 1993, the
foundation had instituted drug testing for all employees, not just the
bargaining unit (hotels). I do know of one person who quit because of it
and one who was fired for refusing to take the test. I don't know if just
full-time employees have to go through testing or casual (summer) and
part-time employees are required as well.

 I would ask questions about the policy. Why do they feel it is necessary?
Who pays for it? What happens if you test positive? What happens if you
refuse? In a small institution, it seems rather extreme. To me, it does
seem invasive. If you had been picked up driving impaired, not a problem!!
But this does sound like a smack in the face to the people who have
dedicated their time and energy to make the museum work. Investigate the
situaiton fully and keep us informed!! Cheers!!
