Chrysler UAW workers caught doping, drinking -- again
The Fox TV station in Detroit has again caught on video Chrysler union workers smoking dope and drinking before work and on their lunch break.
This time it was not in a public park, but in the parking lot of their nearby United Auto Workers union hall, before they headed back to finish their shift at Chrysler Group's Trenton engine plant that builds the new Fiat 4-cylinder for world use
I've had beer and wine at lunch with those high level staff you’re writing about in the US and Europe. But it wasn’t typical behavior for me, but for some others it was. I remember when we started drug testing. It chased out some high level staff from our division. They started up their own consulting company, at first working mostly for us. Their business was growing a few years later when our division was shrinking dramatically. The only place I recall that we didn't drink at lunch was Taiwan.
Oh my god! Dont tell me people use drugs and drink on a lunch break!
Are people really that out of touch with reality? Is this the first time you heard of people drinking or using drugs on the job?
I dont condone this but whats the point of this? What is your point? Is this supposed to make look unions bad all in all? Should we get rid of unions because of this?
What i think is that this people should have a serious talking to....
But seriously try to undermine the unions with this? Pathetic.
This is what i call being ignorant: Find a very small portion of a group of people doing something they are not supposed to do, then generalize that small portion and fit it around the bigger portion and say they all do this and in this case are "stoned UAW slobs" and try to make a point by this.I call it......"And this is why these drunk and stoned UAW slobs wont get fired"...........
I really hope they built the car your driving............since its not a big deal...........

Can we then infer from your post, Badmutha, that non-union workers, Wall Street honchos and bailed out capitalists don't drink and dope on the job?
You can infer......that my Grandchildren's Grandchildren want their money back.......and any non-union slob would have been fired on the spot.

These "union members" were fired. And its from your video you posted...
Followup: Chrysler fires 13 workers involved in drinking on the job, suspends two
What makes you think that these guys wont get fired... Is it because they are "union slobs"?
Have a question?Do you honestly believe.......that no other UAW BEER AND POT JAMBOREES took place during the year span between reports?
Also, stop with the ****ing periods. Its not necessary.Do you honestly believe.....
I dont know?that the Union heads and heavys had no idea this was going on?..........right outside in the UAW Parking lot?
You know this how?The only ones getting fired are the ones lucky enough to have had some airtime....
...protecting union slobbery......shielding union incompetence and corruption.........is the job Unions are here to do.

You know this how?
Do you go to employment lineup and keep track?
Because normally when people get fired they dont tell media outlets and everyday people...
Do you honestly believe..........UAW BEER AND POT JAMBOREES only take place in Trenton?......annually?

"Jamboree"? Is this supposed to be a party? Because the Tea Party Jamboree here in KC got canceled.
But it didnt look like a "jamboree" to me. Looked like a couple guys having a beer or something and im sure they are going to be canceled. Im also sure more than just union members use drugs and alcohol. Im guessing its also a very small number do it also. But im also sure if they got caught like these men did then they will be fired as well.
So tell me whats your point in this?

Thanks for responding. Where I worked we had high level architecture, design, marketing, sales, and we had manufacturing that used large dangerous sophisticated computer controlled machines and hand assembly. So drugs including alcohol could be a problem. So the company was considering starting drug testing. As a manager, I thought this would be stupid since employment should be based on performance and performance is easily evaluated. I expressed my views, dangerous. (In fact there are small keyboard at the door evaluation of an employee that can be implemented, that functions better for the company than drug testing.) Weeks later drug testing was implemented. I had to go to training on how to explain to my group how good this was going to be. During the training the pro drug testing managers were pro because they didn’t like the sinful drug culture, others like me just cared about performance. So there were basically three types: 1) Those that didn’t think it would work and would be a waste. 2) Those that wanted to stop the sinfulness. 3) And a few that thought it would work. Note, ‘beer’ was not tested for. The company that sold the testing to our company, claiming lower costs, higher productivity, etc., etc. started the testing. Several high level engineers resigned and formed a consulting firm before testing began and we hired them at effectively higher pay than they were getting. My boss tested positive for the prescription drugs he needed. He was tested over and over for this reason. It’s very embarrassing to be pulled from a meeting to have to go pee in a way to verify that it was fresh pee. However, we were to get a report about how much performance improved and how much money was saved in 6 months, etc. Nothing was ever provided about how much drug testing improved our company. After about a year and a half drug testing was stopped. No reason ever given. My guess was that it was too expensive to catch sinners. This was especially obvious when some of the sinners were consultants sitting in the next office.In no way would I condone or approve...but Im betting you werent running major industrial machinery after your wine break...

The Good Reverend will drink on the job whenever he pleases.... I own this ****.....
employees drinking on the job will get the boot. I own this ****.
Well, Although I don't own my company, I do work from home, and my HQ are far, far away. That said, I do drink, and I smoke a little pot once in a while, but I absolutely do not do it on the job, EVER!
