Might want to hold off on the new Dodge....
At least for a few weeks. lol :facepalm: :drinking:
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/24/f...unch-suspende/ Chrysler has announced that all 15 of the employees who were apparently caught drinking and smoking pot during their lunch break by a Fox 2 News Detroit crew have been suspended indefinitely without pay. The workers from the company's Jefferson North Assembly Plant were spotted drinking heavily during their lunch breaks over a ten-day period. Chrysler says that all of the individuals had been identified and relieved of their duty within 36 hours of the company learning of the problem. The company also says that while the video seems pretty cut-and-dry, it must adhere to its protocol when it comes to removing those workers permanently. Chrysler also stressed that each of its vehicles goes through an extensive quality control system and that it doesn't condone the behavior documented in the news report in any way. Chrysler's Jefferson North plant employs a total 2,500 workers. To see Chrysler's official response, click past the jump. To read more about the story, head over to Fox 2 Detroit's website.

Actually they make Grand Cherokees LOL and the vehicles are inspected through quality control before they are shipped so no worries really.
but i do find it kinda funny haha. |
I think this behavior is common at all jobs, especally unions.

It happens, Chrysler will handle it just like the rest of Corporate America...therapy, counseling, or termination. I gotta go, I have to pick up the keg and some green on the way into work. Appearently it is common to do these things at work. Unfortunately my co-workers must not have been aware of this...so figure I will get em started by going into the deep-end with them. |

I have no problems with people drinking and although I wouldn't waste my time or money on pot I could care less if someone else does (in fact I think they should just legalize it and stop wasting my tax dollars fighting a loosing battle against a product thats no worse than cigarettes) but during the middle of a work day?! Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's the way I was raised but you don't do that. You work hard, earn your pay, and when you leave work you do what ever the hell you want. The next day you show up for work ontime and do it again. I'd say kids today don't get it but these were adults. :iono:

Humm might explain why some Camaro have so many issues.

Do you think Chrysler has similar screenings and programs to yours to prevent this activity? If the answer to this is YES, how do you think they made it around the screenings and tests? |

It makes no difference to me about their quality (or lack thereof) because I'll never own a piece of Chrysler crap ever again. I made that huge mistake once, but never again. But the public relations fallout that can come out of this might make some people think twice about buying a Chrysler product. And that definitely hurts the bottom line. I have no problem with anyone zonking themselves into la la land with any drug they choose as long as it doesn't affect anyone but themselves. But these azzholes were driving afterwards potentially putting other sober drivers in harms way and then building a car that could have a structural component fail because of their level of impairment after purchase and end someone's life because these clowns wanted to drink and get high during lunch. They get what they deserve, IMO. |

But the random pretty much gets them every time. When their number is up they are escorted to the test facility and not allowed to put their hands in pockets, change clothes and no access to lunch kits, personal bags or backpacks. In the 10 years I've run my business we've had at least half a dozen fail the random and at least as many quit on the spot when they get called. We had a kid pass the pre hire and on his first random got caught with one of those pee in a bag things you keep on you. The temp was not right on his sample and he refused to to retest. So Again yes I do believe it works.:D |
The biggest problem I see is that the UAW hasn't said anything about it (to my knowledge). As soon as they heard about it they should have told Chrysler to fire them.
