Wow... just wow.

Man, thats just not right......With a little luck they will all get canned. I know that sounds a bit harsh, but i would hate to see someone that does the right thing ( the opposite of what they are doing ) get hurt because someone cant wait for a beer or hit until after work.

Good old unionized labor.Can't beat it!!!

Good undercover discovery and footage, but the way it was reported and served to us I give two-thumbs down. I hope it leads to them firing those numbskulls and hopefuly trimming the fat at the plant, but something tells me their union will fight for them and land them hefty severances... which will buy them a lot more beer and more than a couple joints *sigh*.
I don't like the spin that the reporter who wrote the article put on all the employees at that plant and how it generaly devauled american workers making product in america... like the reporter thinks and would strongly preffer if we give the work out to a bunch of hard working asians or indians overseas... a shame, and not to bring this topic into the political realm, but I strongly felt the reproter was trying to slam Obama's speach and visit way too much, to the point that he inadvertently is throwing the "hard working american worker" under the bus.
My favorite line in the whole article, after the reporter degrades the average american worker, and presents the footage showing at most two-dozen previously-employed darwin award winners "....employs 2,833 union auto workers...". Clearly a case of a few bad aples in a very large barrel. I hope this doesn't bring anymore trouble or grief for those other 2,800+ genuine autoworkers doing their job, things are already pretty tough for them and their industry out there.

Great, when they all get fired they will get government assistance. :aok

I hope they ALL get fired for obvious reasons.

Oh that is nice.

People are actually surprised by this? Lockheed Martin lunch hour it's not unusual for the closest beer stores raided at lunch time. And seeing someone come back to work glassy eyed is no surprise. The higher end restaurants in that area are full of mid and upper level management tipping few. Bell Helicopter same story. I used to have a couple of beers at lunch on Fridays but cut that nonsense out two or so years ago. I'm not defending anybody getting impaired during their lunch hours or coming to work in that condition and I'm not saying that the majority of people that work in these places do it. I'm just stating that it's a lot more prevalent than is obviously thought.
Now as was posted previously if punitive action is attempted on the people identified in the videos the unions will block it and they'll never lose a days pay.
Attempt to institute random breathalyzer tests after lunch? You'll have the ACLU AND the unions so far up your rear it's not even funny.

Buy a couple bushel apples and bout bet your going to get a couple bad ones.

Dich brings up a point I didn't even consider. Quick rough survey here: if this was just a friday-only pre-weekend lunch tradition for this group of workers, how many poeple here would be less inclined to care? I'm not gonna lie, I've only been working full-time for 10-years now and have had about a dozen bosses or clients already buy me a friday lunch after a succesful morning/week with more than just one beer to go with it, without asking me something more in-depth than "you drink beer?".

Currently they are suspended without pay pending an investigation. Guess it is difficult to assertain who they are and if it was really them from 10 days of HD survelliance video :huh :salute

At my steel plant a couple of years ago they fired just about everybody in one department for (about 15 guys) for doing drugs at work. 2 were picked up by the police on the way home courtesy of our plant manager for selling/distributing. Our company has a zero tolerance, and yet people still do it. they actually fire about 1-2 guys per month for failing drug tests. Look around and you will find that at your job people will drink and do drugs while on the clock and if you dont see it, its probably cause you are too high to realize :D.
hey in california they just arrested almost everybody in the city council in Bell, wasnt for drugs/alcohol, but there's really no difference.

I used to haul GM parts out of the Bensalem, Pa. plant before it closed a few years back. Every night, the GM'ers would walk the 100 ft out of the gate and drink beer, smoke weed. I was shocked that the management just looked the other way.

What a load of hypocritical crap!
Does anyone really believe that a bunch of lowly production workers drinking beer is the reason "Chrysler took $14.3 billion in government bailout money"? In the worst scenario I can imagine and then multiplying by 100 this can account for the 0.3, the rest of the $14 billion is pure incompetence of the people who are going to fire these workers and keep collecting their own fat checks.
"Scott Garberding, senior vice president of manufacturing, told MyFoxDetroit that he was "very disturbed" by what he saw in the video." - I would be more disturbed by this guy and his buddies running the company into the ground, or into the pockets of the public. I guess getting into $14 billion debts is OK, but rolling a joint on a 30 minutes break is a terrible thing to do.

of course those workers aren't the reason chrysler took/needed the money. they just couldn't sneak the cameras into the management offices to catch the higher-ups doing the same stuff, or worse.

OK, now that was funny. :rofl
Dodge trucks I've always been on the fence about. They're nice enough on the inside and outside, but it's a real crup-shoot if you get one that will get 150k or 15k miles before encountering a serious problem.

if i was going full size, for a truck, i'd either buy an old chevy(meaning 70's) or a ford. i don't like the "feel" of the full size dodge trucks. the dakota isn't a full size/
