I mean its not like Chrysler products are the paradigm of quality and fit and finish. Did people really think a bunch of the best people were putting these cars together? Really?
Not sure why this is surprising, I've seen it at many levels. No its not the norm but its not as abnormal as some sheltered think.

Well, the new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a few other new Chrysler products, after years of being low-rent (TOO low-rent, IMO), do look promising in the fit/finish and engineering departments. It's a shame that this had to happen after the company seems to (finally), like GM and Ford, be getting its act together.
But this is nothing new, variations of this have been going on for decades at most of the UAW plants.

Looks like they were having a bad day at work so had to drink and smoke.......so the rational thing to do is rehire them!

This is just more bad PR for the UAW and unions in general.
Despite the negativity, the UAW continues to test the good will of the general public with their stance on standing by the members regardless of royally screwing up.
So what does it take to have a Union member fired? (Palm to face now.....)

I understand there is a move now, in Michigan, to make it a Right-to-Work state, which would allow non-union plants and work-places.

It's possible that real business reforms are coming to the Rust Belt. Probably too little, too late, seeing as even politicians are jumping ship. State Senator Rick Jones has gone so far as to advocate the dissolution of the City of Detroit to place it under State authority. Not that that's a serious consideration, but it does shake local administration to the core - if only to recognize the depths of corruption and graft that have swamped local government can be dismissed at the stroke of a pen.
Passage of right-to-work legislation will be the first step in breaking the back of the labor union-led corruption that has been a part of Detroit's civil authority for nearly a century. If passed, it could help bring industry back to the Motor City. If that happens, the demise of the union movement across the Midwest and Northeast manufacturing corridor will follow shortly.

J954sho,
Thanks so much for sharing this magnificent news.
This is perfect on so many levels.
The Union supporting these so and sos
Fiat for taking them back
I wish these guys signed their names on the cars so the poor shmo that spends their hard earned dough could see that these clowns built the car when walking the lot and then could pick one not tainted by this stink
If Fiat was going to lose to the Union, why not take stand and say OK we will pay them but no they won't build our cars. Essentially Fiat said, we don't care about quality by letting these guys back on the shop floor
Back to the Union. By supporting these guys is helps the arguments against Unions doing anything but taking care of the business their workers work for and the customers who buy the goods from such a business.
Hopefully Chrysler sales will start tipping back down
