An investigative report from Eyewitness News Investigators in New York uncovered several construction workers drinking during lunch breaks then heading back to the jobsite to complete the day's work. Lawmakers, officials and even the Department of Buildings is calling for mandatory alcohol and drug testing.
Mandatory drug and alcohol testing is a collective bargaining issue, according to the Building Trades Employers' Association, which requires negotiation. However, the association is hoping to work with the New York City city council and the buildings department to make mandatory testing the law.
