Auto Workers Caught Drinking on the Job

When it comes to auto workers, you may think of the salt of the earth, working to make America strong again. Well think again. WJBK Fox 2 News caught dozens of Chrysler workers drinking beer and perhaps smoking marijuana – while at work, USA Today reports.

Dozens of workers boozed away in their cars while being paid with money provided by taxpayers to bail out the ailing Chrysler. It was at the Jefferson North auto plant in Detroit, visited by President Obama just recently, July 30. The plant builds the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

As you might expect, Chrysler wasn’t too pleased. "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," said Scott Garberding, the company’s senior vice president of manufacturing. "For us this behavior is totally unacceptable and will be dealt with swiftly."
