My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Florida
I work at a FAA certified jet engine repair facility. As such the Federal Department of Transportation has strict rules for employees is a "sensitive" job. The most prevelant example of sensitive would be the mechanics.
I was initially hired for non maintenance work, general shop labor. I never touched any part of the engines. I did paperwork and maintained the stock room. Also i was not required to be put on the drug screening program.
A couple of months in they decided to give me some OJT for an in house job that required me to be responsible for an element of maintenaince on the actual engines. Because of this i was required to be put on the drug screening program which i gladly agreed to. I passed my initial test and even passed a random screening a few months after that.
For the last 5 months i have not been doing the job that required me to be on the screening program. in fact they decided to make me a full time stock room employee. They explicitly told me not to do that job, that it was the mechanics responsibility to do any work for an engine. I work under my boss, the director of the stockroom operation who is not on the screening program. however i still am even though my job requirements have changed.
I would like to be removed from the program. I was happy to comply when they needed me to but it is unnecessary right now. I feel like a part of my personal privacy is being unnecessarily infringed on. However I understand that some employers would consider this a suspicious request. Can i safely ask to be taken off of the program without worrying for my job? Do they have to take me off of the program if i ask and my job requirements no longer necessitate it (proof of this is seen in the fact that my superior who does the same job as me is not on the program)?
Thanks
