Abstract

This article outlines issues related to genetic testing that could arise within the context of the collective bargaining relationship. After providing an overview of the Human Genome Project and genetic testing, labor and management views on such testing are discussed. The discussion primarily focuses on safety, privacy, cost control, and job design issues. As society continues to examine the impact of genetic testing, we suggest that collective bargaining positions on this technology will remain fluid.
