Definitely not cool - but since their COWORKERS are the ones that tipped off Faux and the workers knew to be off company property (so obviously they know management isn't cool with such behavior), I don't think the attempts to smear the plant is justified.

I thought the investigative reporting film was pretty funny. :lol:

Since I own a Crysler, maybe I should have been outraged. My problem was they showed this several times in succession and the reporter was like the character Dom DeLuise played shutting down the Chicken Ranch and I got tickled at his emotional report. Kind of miss old Uncle Walt, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley just reporting instead of making the news with all the drama that the reporters put forth nowadays.

Pretty funny video and very disturbing at the same time....I guess Chrysler did not get the memo from Toyota recalls.
Back during the home building explosion on 30-A,after 9/11,you would see this activity daily on contruction sites.

Yep. Here is some fine boom cycle housing stock I found:shock: No worries about the rot, you can always cool off in the green slime pool, AKA the mosquito hatchey!

Oh I'm so thrilled Ignatius is back Skunkape - and in living color!!

When I worked at the BR Airport (before it was remodeled, etc...) I was totally blown away by the fact that the guys who serviced the planes between flights (taxi them in, refuel them, check them over) were the heaviest users I knew - AND were often under the influence during their hours at the airport. :cool: Kinda unsettling. I wonder if they have drug testing these days.

I wonder if the UAW / SEIU workers complex is working the White House for clemency for these bozo's yet? I spent 30+ yrs working in the supplier chain to the "big three" ( what a joke ), steel, etc, many times on the mfg. floor, and I can say it was not uncommon to encounter workers ( if you could find them when you needed them so you could procede to the next step - outrageous work rules classifications ) who obviously had been drinking ( hidden locations around the plant where they would take naps and nips ). It always amazed me how the union was able to get these guys off the hook when caught ( spineless management ).

This is nothing new. When American Motors was in full swing, back in the 70's{remember the Rambler?}, I had a joob that took me there, with parts on occasion. Well, there was one worker , who always had a flask with him. Then, the bars across the street, at lunch, certain individuals had their own spots, had their meals and beer waiting for them. At lunch. The weird thing was, in the 70's, AMC was paying more than the big "3" to their employees. What you don't know, really won't hurt you. Especially resturants.
