Good Lord. What a bunch of losers. Dangerous losers.
Fire the arbitrator. (duh)
I remember the video - workers speed outta the plant at lunch time, stop at the beer store and stock up, drive to a parking lot to guzzle beers and toke up on weed - then hot foot it back to the plant [all in 45 minutes] ...
My 2005 Chrysler Town and Country at 100,000 miles is rusting, the rear A/C rotted out, there are many creaks and rattles and the check engine light comes on half a dozen times a year. (for different reasons) The last time I went to a dealer they quoted me $450.00 for plugs and wires.
My previous van ate the tranny at 75,000 miles and my Stratus pissed oil on the driveway at 45k.
My 2002 Civic, with 278,000 miles needed shocks, brakes and an alternator in the last two years.
Tell me why I should buy American again?
It definitely pays to belong to the choomsters union.
Something like this happened at the Saint Paul Ford plant. they did finely get rid of the union thugs there.
They closed the plant down 10 years later to do it. but they got it done!
Right to pass around a joint.
I don't want to put Americans out of work any more than anyone else, but I'm not going to expect anyone to pay for this to save American jobs.
I'm not in the market, but when I am, it's foreign built Ford or transplant for me. This has to stop.
Chrysler and the UAW have a bargaining agreement regarding disciplinary actions and substance abuse problems (as did my Tier 1 company). At the most, I would have expected the workers to only get a few weeks off without pay but given the high profile coverage from the local TV media, they disregarded that established policy and tried to keep them fired.
The arbitrator didn't rule on the actions of the employees which resulted in their discharges, but rather Chrysler's violation of the legally binding bargaining agreement.......
If the union doesn’t consider being drunk and high on the job grounds for dismissal, then what would a union member have to do to get fired? Publicly announce they were a Republican?
