Accused of doing drugs on the job

Two fellow employees accused me of taking drugs not prescribed to me on the job. Administration sent me home and told me to return in five days. I returned and I was told I am being suspended for drug use. I paid for own blood test (negative results for drug accused of taking) but administration will not acknowledge document. Union will not help me.
