Detroit Chrysler United Auto Workers (UAW UNION) BUSTED On The Job Drinking Beer And Smoking Pot Everyday During Lunch Break!

I really feel the need to stress to you union auto workers that you still have a JOB because our government bailed you out using OUR TAXPAYER MONEY! Chrysler received $12,812,130,642 BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS from the TARP bailout to be exact. [source: ProPublica]

A total of $50,744,648,329 was disbursed to General Motors Corporation from the TARP bailout. [source: ProPublica] Our government (the American taxpayers) OWN 61% of General Motors. [source: OC Register]

You guys act like President Obama pulled this money out of thin air! You do not have a job because you are working for a VIBRANT SUCCESSFUL COMPANY that can stand on its own legs. It is because of your greedy selfish union that General Motors was DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND. You get the BEST COMPANY PROVIDED BENEFITS that are FREE and most of you get paid on average $75 per hour. Most of you take what you have for granted as is shown in this video. NOBODY OWES YOU A DAMN THING! So stop acting like it. You should be grateful to be employed. There are 26 MILLION Americans UNEMPLOYED RIGHT NOW! [source: US National Debt Clock]

Workers at 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Plant Busted for Bad Behavior

Just the Facts:

•Chrysler auto workers are caught drinking and smoking pot outside of Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly plant by Fox News Detroit.

•It's the same plant where, earlier this summer, President Obama said, "I would bet on the American auto worker any day of the week."

•The Jefferson plant builds the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

DETROIT — The Motor City has been rocked by a scandal involving some Chrysler auto workers who build one of the company's crown jewels, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Several workers were followed for weeks by Fox News Detroit and caught on tape at a local park near the Jefferson North Assembly Plant here, drinking beer and smoking pot on their lunch hour.

It's the same plant where President Obama stood in July, praising Chrysler auto workers and saying "I would bet on the American worker any day of the week." The local TV station said it began following the workers just five days after Obama's visit. Chrysler went through a government-led bankruptcy in 2009 and took $10.8 billion from the federal government. "The fact that we're standing in this magnificent factory today is a testament to the decision we made," said Obama in July.

The video shows the workers leaving the plant, heading into a local party store and then blatantly drinking and smoking pot in a local park. "There ain't no party like a Detroit party," intones the reporter during the video. He adds: "We saw this day after day after day. [They use their] lunch break to catch a buzz."

The workers have since been suspended indefinitely without pay, according to Chrysler.

"I'm very, very disturbed about what I just saw in the video and I want to make it clear that we at Chrysler take it very seriously," Scott Garberding, Chrysler's senior vice president of manufacturing, told Fox News Detroit. "For us this behavior is totally unacceptable and will be dealt with swiftly."

The United Auto Workers also issued a statement saying that it opposes the use of controlled substances or alcohol on the job.

Inside Line says: A public-relations nightmare for Chrysler and a real blow to the image of American auto workers. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
