A group of Chrysler workers who were terminated after being filmed (apparently) drinking on their lunch break have been reinstated as a result of mandatory arbitration.
Thirteen workers lost their jobs over the September 2010 incident that was caught on videotape by the Fox News station in Detroit.
Following an investigation, the workers were fired in accordance with Chrysler policy. The workers filed grievances with the United Auto Workers union and the matter went to arbitration, where Chrysler lost its case.
The full story has not been released, and it is possible that the arbitrator either found that there was not enough evidence that the workers were actually drinking alcohol, that the workers were entitled to addiction treatment before being discharged, or that the company’s own due process policies had been ignored.
