Advisory Opinion on Drug-Free Workplace Trust Fund

This document is about an advisory opinion from the U.S. Department of Labor on whether the Pipe Fitters Union Local No. 392 Drug Free Workplace Trust Fund, which pays for annual drug testing of union members, is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of ERISA section 3(1). The Department concludes that the trust fund does not provide any benefits specified in ERISA section 3(1) and therefore is not an employee welfare benefit plan subject to ERISA.
