Chrysler Responds to Resintated Workers

A news story about the dismissal of 13 auto works at a Chrysler plant in Detroit from two years ago has everyone talking again.

Many will remember the story from back in 2010 of a video showing off duty assembly line workers drinking and smoking pot while on their breaks.  Chrysler responded with outrage at the incident, firing the said 13 workers.  That’s where the story should’ve ended, but this week the workers are back in the plant at their previous jobs.  Chrysler is not happy about it either.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) filed grievances for the workers that were terminated due to the video.  A third-party arbitrator ruled on the side of the union and had their jobs reinstated.  Chrysler has released a statement saying that they do not agree with the decision that was made with the arbitrator but will respect that procedure was followed.
