title: Drug testing for multiemployer plans: choosing the proper legal structure.
abstract: If drug testing of employees in a multiemployer fund must be performed, how should it be funded? This article illustrates the legal issues associated with several entities often used to fund a drug-testing program, such as health and welfare funds, apprenticeship and training funds, and labor-management cooperation committees. Without such a structure, the plan administrator and others could face unnecessary risks.
