I used to be a payroll person. We had two employees. Worker #1 worked a 7am to 3:00pm shift. Worker #2 worked 3:00pm to 11:00pm.
The worker #1 who left at 3:00pm would punch the timecard of worker #2. Worker #2 would arrive at 4:30pm or so and punch the timecard of worker #1. That resulted in often showing at least 1½ of overtime for worker #1.
Must be one of those Lagercy costs we keep hearing about.
A caller to Rush when Jason Lewis was subbing was a UAW worker and said this is what his coworkers were doing and he didn’t like them putting his life in danger coming back to the job drunk.
Right up the street from the Van Nuys Jail?
Now, now. My Chrysler just rolled over 100k and still purrs like a kitten.
Oh, wait. Never mind. It was built in Canada.

LOL!!!!!!!!!
What’s the life expectancy of that reporter?
Thanks! I just emailed them.
Exactly my first thought...guy’s gonna get his legs broken.
Government jobs are way better. You don’t have to do anything and you get paid way more.
You usually have to be a Democrat to get one though.
“I wonder if their benefits package includes free rehab?”
Yes, it does.
Or, after a heavy 4 hour shift at the bar, they’ll make him drive one of their special Fords off the production line
;)
i would rather see my tax dollars put in a pile and burned than used to help these people.
South Gate. The plant closed in 1983. I wasn’t much more than a mere lad.
Lemme guess - SUV. All I can tell you is that Chrysler minivans are notorious for transmission problems. Nicely-designed, user-friendly vehicles - it's just that they use crappy parts so they can continue to cover the UAW's hefty pay packages and slack work rules. (And when they tell you that labor only accounts for 10% a vehicle's cost, they're not counting the UAW labor - required in the contract - that puts together the sub-assemblies at the parts suppliers).
Fantastic reporting. Great job Channel 4.
Union folks are the nastiest branch of the liberal tree that I have bumped heads with. They are the most likely to do you physical harm.
I’d say these dudes are simply alcoholics.
