Thumbs down MORE Michigan Auto Workers Caught Drinking, Smoking Pot On The Job

Workers from Chrysler's Trenton, Mich. Engine Plant were captured on video, apparently drinking and smoking marijuana while on a break.

Now, Chrysler is suspending the nine workers without pay while the company investigates.

Here's a great article from a Detroit Auto Beat Reporter.

After a similar incident happened last year, also in Michigan...

can we really trust those working in Michigan's auto industry with building our cars?

This is the kind of **** that steel workers used to pull. In Michigan, I actually saw huts where the workers would bring prostitutes, in the plant, to party during their shift. Then, the f'ckers had the ***** to go on strike for more money. It wasn't all foreign competition (pricing) that destroyed the steel industry, in this Country. Government regulations & poor work production had a hand in it, as well. Doesn't surprise me @ all that similar crap still goes on.

Growing up near in a "Ford" town I have seen a lot of ****. Lets just say that when the lay-offs started the bars in town started losing a lot of money.. though I can hardly imagine this is just a MI thing. I still have many friends that work for the "big" three and just like any other job, there's the good and the bad but I'm glad they're getting caught. Thanks OP for joining though just to enlighten us
