Workers for Ethical Substance Use Policy

Workers for Ethical Substance Use Policy Society (WESUP) was established as a non-profit organization in 2021. Our purpose is to to fight for systemic change to harmful workplace substance use policy and to advocate for and provide support to workers who are affected by these policies. For far too long, workers who use substances and workers who have substance use challenges, have been stigmatized and marginalized in the workplace. Workers are often branded as being an inherent danger to workplace safety and are removed from the workplace and coerced into outdated, invasive, harmful, and profit-driven addiction treatment & monitoring programs, and denied access to ethical and evidence-based health care.
