According to data cited by University of Michigan economist Mark Perry, totaling up health care, pensions, hourly pay, vacations and the rest, average total compensation for a Big Three autoworker is $73.21 an hour.

They will all be back at work soon and with back pay they were not on company property.They were not on a paid lunch your employer can not fire you for having 1-2 beers before you come to work or when your shift is done.If they were on straight 8 with a paid lunch then they would not be able to leave the plant and could be fired for any one of the things they did.
This should have been a police matter they could have given out several charges and they would have been detained.If they were not back in the plant and on the job a 11:30 then they could be fired.I worked for GM for 31 years and it was going on long before I got there.Do you realy think the company does not know that 99 out of 100 guys going out at lunch aren`t drinking and smoking.

Who in their right mind can defend going to work around heavy machinery with a buzz?
This is why the Union is a joke, and American cars are held in low esteem.
How bout this Mr 30 years at GM?
Next time you need surgery, go fire up a doob with the doctor.
Next time you put your children on the school bus, down a 40 with the driver.
Next time you need legal assistance, snort a few lines with the lawyer.
If it's OK for autoworkers to do it, then it's surely fine for everyone to do it.
I'm going to stop now while I can still remain civil.
