100% agree, those that are both educated and been around the block know this.

 

Yes...I brought up the possible stress factor in an earlier post. And Chrysler officials, in the article, said that had already suspensed some of those involved.

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.

 

Yes, new JGC is nice, I've driven 2.

But this is nothing new, variations of this have been going on for decades at most of the UAW plants.

 

If Chrysler managers exercised more stringent quality control on their employees, none of this would have happened.

 

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!

Wow! We all should have unions so we can drink and do drugs on the job and get our jobs back after being hired! Legalized pot....now drinking on job and doing drugs....yes, America is back !!!!

 

Can't believe Chrysler had to bring them back...

 

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

 

I'd seriously love to know the crack-smoking rationale that the UAW used to justify these idiots getting rehired.
