Do not take this as a political spin, no worker should be intoxicated on the job :!: :!:

I find this discussing with so many people out of work and these jerks abuse their jobs and get away with it.

When I worked at a Jeep/GM dealership I saw all sorts of messed up thing come from the factory.Once a new then '01 GM SUV came off the transport with one side labeled as a Tahoe,the other side was labeled Yukon and the front had the bowtie with the rear wearing the GMC badge.Was real confusing the 1st time I saw it.

Two of them got kicked out, don't know where the rest are now.

If you are intoxicated and not fit to legally drive, you should not be working in a factory with dangerous equipment.
If the UAW had any decency, they would take the responsibility and kick these idiots out of their Union for life.
There are labor Unions who do kick out members who do not follow safety procedures and I am sure there would be other members who would be happy to work.
As much as I rip the Auto Industry Management for Bean Counter Engineering, no Engineer would ever recommend having intoxicated workers assembling the product.

So you think this only happens in the US, better read some more, happens everywhere, in all different kinds of positions all over the world.
From digging holes with shovels to using large excavators, operating a elevator to driving a bus.
Not saying it is right, but its not the only place it happens. I used to work with guys who did their best work "after a liquid" lunch break.

In countries where alcohol is not readily available, they use narcotics or other intoxicants. I make no implication that the US or the Chrysler plant making the GCs is the only place. In Iraq & Afghanistan, many of the insurgents are so stoned that our troops have to shoot them to the point that they bleed and pass out before they die.
Working around dangerous equipment when intoxicated should not be tolerated. Like I said before the UAW should kick them out of their union before the management even has the chance to even think about taking any action. With as many workers in Michigan (including UAW members) with families who are out of work, they should have the jobs instead of these jerks getting drunk and high. Some Unions take the proactive action of getting rid of the problem workers because they have figured there is no work and no union dues paid when the company goes out of business. With the UAW holding a chunk of the US Auto Industry, this is painfully obvious to me.
