Towards the end of 2011, Energy Union, Mining, Forestry, and the Construction (CFMEU) launched a case with Fair Work Australia to prevent the use of urine based drug sampling for workers of mining contractor HWE. The Union claimed urine tests for drug use, especially cannabis, was a breach of secrecy and returned misleading outcomes, however Fair Work stated urine testing was better than saliva since it had been much more reliable, accurate, and able to identify chronic and regular use of cannabis.
