Man .....I wish I had a job like that.
Not really. This *is* the UAW we’re talking about. Home of the 60,000 mile transmission.
Wow. Our money is being well spent, no?
is this even news?
It would be news if you found UAW members actually working.
They’ll be among the first to help spend the bailout money.
It’s in their contract. Now shut up and send in your money.
If they are “fired” they’ll just appeal and be back the next week.
Good old unions at work.
Republican smears against these self-proclaimed “hard-working Americans”. What a bunch of pathetic self entitled crybabies. “I want to do the same job for 20 years over and over, get a raise each year and then I can complain about the effciency of the Japanese automakers while I sit on my fat lazy arse and draw and overpaid pension”
Time to trim the fat.
Why are you surprised?
Yup; backbone of America.
Unreal.

Buah’s $14 billion will go a long way toward paying the bar bills.
I wonder if their benefits package includes free rehab?
So, about your claims that UAW workers don’t do this....
Not too surprised. My ex was UAW back in the 70’s (Budd Co in Indiana), they got away with a ridiculous amount of stuff. I worked Irish pubs in NYC for a few years back in the late 70’s early 80’s, had plenty of union guys doing the pitcher or three lunch. They didn’t take a real long lunch though, that was later in the afternoon that they hung around. I don’t figure times have changed too much.
I was an autoworker for GM in SoCal years ago. We would drink before work, during lunch and for hours after work. All in the parking lot.
Those were the days.
Nothing new here I had a buddy who’s uncle was a union big wig and got him a job.The job he got was mopping the floors and cleaning this was 6 years ago for $26.00 an hr not bad work if you can get it.He told me that everyday at the same time his crew of guys would leave and go to the bar for hours then go back and work he told me at the time it was unreal the way the system worked.Not once during time did anyone for his bosses or anyone from ford say one word to stop them.
Gee, wonder why the cops to make spot checks like in other places. That last guy that “forgot his pager” sounded snockered to me, what a disgrace. No way a person can drink for 1 to 4 hours and not be DWI, much less of course, ripping off the company—oh, I forgot, UAW POLICY, got it.
