and forgive me for not trusting fox investigative "reporters' when I have to take their word for something. "every day we were out there..." I would have thought that quite possible until it came out of that dude's mouth...now I have my doubts.

This has ZERO to do with FOX, ZERO to do with Bush, so stick that in your bong and blaze it.

Step up, for once in your life, and show that you're not a complete and total imbecile. At least show an glimmer of intelligence in your feeble brain to understand that this is indefensible behavior on the part of these workers.

Or are you going to be the ass hat we all have come to know, and simply take the opposite view of anything which in any way puts Obama in a bad light ?

Oh, we've already seen which way you'll go. No shocker there.

Well had a drink doesn't determine "drunk". Do people go over the line? Almost certainly, but that short edited video does not prove that it is pandemic in that factory, or that most or any of the people in that video have put their work or their safety or the safety of others in any danger, or that there is no internal scrutiny of such behavior should it actually hit a point of drunkenness on the job.

Who would you not besmirch if Fox told you to do it, I wonder?

What one does on their lunch break damn well is the employers business, if they come back stoned and buzzed, and if the business is dealing with assembly line work, whether its making cars or bobble headed geisha dolls.

... do you honestly think that catching a buzz on, during the middle of the work day, at a factory, is an o.k. thing ?

Odd that you only think assembly-line workers should be subjected to a "zero tolerance" policy. I'm sure you'd never favor such policies in your own line of work, eh?

Are there lines of work in which you think it's perfectly fine to be buzzed on the job?

A little grass, a little beer, never really hurt anyone. They live in Detroit for Christ's sake, they need and deserve their little buzz, their little life enjoyments. On the day Obama visited a while back, they rolled 'em a little fatter, and drank a little harder. Did you see how happy Obama was at the wildly cheering crowd? That's a win these days. The auto bailouts were tiny compared in size to the Wall Street bailouts.

Heck, maybe we should bring back blue laws, and just outlaw the sale of booze anywhere in the country between the hours of 8am and 6pm... ;)

Or, you could start your OWN damn company, and make up what ever the hell pay you think is right, and see how well that goes.

So tell me again why I should treat THIS non-story like anything more than another heavily-edited, biased, agenda-driven hit piece. Given your track record of being 100% wrong 100% of the time, why would ANYONE listen to a complete fuck-up like you?

Chrysler Workers Are Fired To "Restore Faith" in Product

Published Sep 28, 2010

Just the Facts:

Chrysler has fired 13 workers at the Detroit plant that builds the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee after they were caught drinking and smoking pot on their lunch hour.

Chrysler said the fired workers "violated the company's standards of conduct."
Fox 2 Detroit tracked the employees for days in late summer and caught them on tape misbehaving at a local park near the plant.

"As is evidenced by the swift action taken in this matter, it should be clear that Chrysler Group will not tolerate such behavior and will continue to evaluate its protocols to ensure that something like this does not happen again,"

Why didn't they get mandatory rehab or counselling rather than getting fired. Where's the great union contract to protect them from that?
