Arbitrator Decides UAW Employees Can Drink And Get High On Lunches

Chrysler workers who were fired or suspended two years ago after a MyFoxDetroit investigation found them drinking and goofing off during lunch break are back on the job.

MyFoxDetroit first aired the footage of the Chrysler workers in September 2010. Video showed them in a park during the work day, drinking alcohol from bottles covered in brown paper bags and smoking what appeared to be marijuana.

With the auto giant having recently received a federal taxpayer bailout, and President Obama having visited the plant where the employees worked just months earlier, Chrysler appeared to take a zero-tolerance attitude. The company fired 13 workers, and suspended two.

This is a SHAME; now all of these a@@h@les will feel they can go out and drink, smoke and not have any consequences. So where is our UAW Blogger who always chimes in. They probably think this is OK. This is why I will NOT buy a Chrysler product. Hey - maybe these UAW workers can negotiate new vending machines with pot in them. Why not - nothing will happen if they buy and smoke it.

Don't worried this like this probably won't last long with the way the U.S. is heading. China and many other foreign countries are buying everything left and right in the U.S.

So they will eventually own most or all of the companies in the U.S. and I"m pretty thing like this won't happen.

So are they saying it's okay to drink and smoke during lunch break and then go back to work? I cannot belief this shit.

Its their vote that matters, not whether they do anything worthwhile.
Good job Ohio/Indiana, now you can all get high until 2016 when your party calls you to do your duty and vote the "something for nothing" party back into power.
