“Unfortunately, the company was put in a very difficult position because of the way the story was investigated and ultimately revealed to the public."

So, because the media documented and aired it, legally it gave Chrysler
no leg to stand on.

I guess if other Chrysler employees witnessed the drinking and reported it
directly to HR, the investigation would have been kept out of the media
and the firings therefore would stand?

If you watch Michigan right now, it's looking as if it's going to be a right to work state.

This could soon be a very moot point.

From my understanding it has passed the senate and the house. It's sitting on the governor's desk right now.

Any attack on unions will be categorically opposed by him.

A side benefit is that he doesn't have to think for himself very much.

I've always wondered about this case. Did the UAW really care about these employees/members or was it to prove that they still had the power to force Chrysler to re-hire these people?

Regardless, it just proves that Chrysler is a marque to stay away from.

So what you are saying is that it is good for Chrysler to hire back this group of people who were building cars while intoxicated?

Or are you saying that it is good that the UAW has the power to force a company to to hire back unfit employees?

You can clearly see that my comment was directed at the "right to work" legislation.

Obama is on his way there now to rile up the sheeple auto workers about taxing the rich. I think even Obama will succeed at getting those boneheads worked up.
