Detroit Auto Workers Busted on the Job Drinking Beer & Smoking Pot on Break.flv

"Usually a sensationalist local TV expose is easy to dismiss. However, we can even forgive Detroit TV station WJBK's use of rock songs as the Fox2 station showed Chrysler factory workers taking their half-hour shift break at a park, drinking beer and smoking marijuana before finishing their work day. The Jefferson North Plant in Detroit is one of Chrysler's flagships, manufacturing the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's also the factory President Obama visited a few weeks ago to praise American manufacturing."

"It's the same plant where President Obama stood in July, praising Chrysler auto workers and saying "I would bet on the American worker any day of the week." The local TV station said it began following the workers just five days after Obama's visit. Chrysler went through a government-led bankruptcy in 2009 and took $10.8 billion from the federal government. "The fact that we're standing in this magnificent factory today is a testament to the decision we made," said Obama in July."

"The video really does speak for itself, but the reporter summarizes why this is so egregious: The metro Detroit economy is on the path back from the abyss, and part of that recovery is to overcome the stereotypes of union workers that are reinforced in this video."

"The Fox2 news crew went to the park for 10 days, and there were autoworkers drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana every day. Chrysler representatives said that many of the employees in the video have already been suspended indefinitely without pay and each vehicle built at the factory is checked multiple times to make sure there are no quality issues before they go on sale. We doubt, however, that those words will make any Jeep Grand Cherokee owners feel any better after watching this video."

This was not a single time, but EVERYDAY occurrence! And these guys have free health insurance AND on average $73.00 / hour jobs! Those caught have been suspended until the Union works it out. (You and I know what that means, when the shit dies down, they'll be back at work.) FIRE THEIR ASSES!

Fox News Sucks...

[frontview1]

The sole reason why I hate Fox News. The only loser in this short clip is the guy holding the microphone. This guy made an ass out of himself trying to make those auto workers look bad. What a Pin Head, another Fox blunder...

This is the reason why the Auto-Industry assembly line are heavily into robots. Robots don't demand more wages, drinking alcohols, smoke joints and most of all gives attitudes.
