They've been suspended by chrysler-with full pay and benefits, most likely.
It's amazing to me that even the most ardent UAW sycophants would defend this, but I'm obviously expecting too much.

They get the high pay and benefits because beer and pot is expensive.

I am cracking up that you think people should be able to work in a factory under the influence of anything. Along with you seem to think someone thinking that makes them a prude.LMBOOOOOOOOO

Do you not get why they drug test you if you get hurt on the job and have a workers comp?

Heck lets not even get started on its illegal to smoke pot. Lets also ignore the drinking and driving. Lets hope they dont kill someone
I've seen no one post that but YOU. What is being argued is that you have taken this story of half a dozen workers and stretched to mean ALL auto workers are CONSTANTLY stoned on the job. As someone whose late husband worked in an auto plant for 30 years I can tell you that, while it did happen, it is NOT as wide spread as you seem to think. And when it did happen, the company (in this case Ford) was very quick about correcting it. In that environment a drunk/stoned employee is not only a danger to himself, he's a danger to everyone in the plant.

you must have completely ignored posts #4 and #11, then.

Why spread garbage like this since it attacks the rights of fellow citizens free choice (in this case to have a beer off company property) ?????

all I can say is that this a prudish, judgmental response not based on any facts since it's unlikely that this response is based on mind numbing assembly line experience.

Do you think they should be going back to work high? Dont you think thats a risk for any business?

Do you think the high went away in 10 mins?
My wife wants one of those Grand Cherokees. I guess I need to show her this video.
These a-holes should be fired! There are plenty of people out there who would love to work and don't need to be stoned to do this job.

So glad we are paying their salary
Not surprising. It is well known that free money causes one to do things that are not to their economic advantage.
