(Milwaukee, WI)
I have been driving trucks, buses, vans, etc (of all sizes)for the last 20 years. I was with my last company for 9 years. Last month I was given a random drug and alcohol two hours before my shift and I below a .36. I was let go from the job and I would like to know if would eligible for unemployment benefits.
Hi Shelley,
Apparently Wisconsin doesn't have a specific statute addressing drug and alcohol tests, so it falls under Misconduct, but there is a lot of information about the subject in the
Wisconsin Digest of UC decisions So why you don't first read the decisions and if you see a possibility for getting benefits .. then if you still need help
contact me or
talk to a lawyer if that makes you feel better.
