Agreed. Giving a person a second chance is divine. One second chance. Not two or three. Some have to hit rock bottom.

If the union has a drug rehab provision in the contract they can get it back. We had that at the place where I worked. They nailed five or six guys including the plant manager for meth. They were all offered their jobs back if they went through rehab and submitted to periodic drug testing for two years. Four accepted it but none of them made it through the two years. They are all gone now.

This is typical of how unions protect their bad apples.

The drug abuse? You bet. The rehiring? Not so likely.

After a year that can only be described as “stupid,” the Chevy Volt is gearing up to make 2013 even stupider still.
I know, I know.
You find it hard to believe that a mostly-owned subsidiary of the United States government and the Obama administration- like GM is- could get any stupider than say Fannie Mae, or Federal Reserve Bank.
Yes, that’s tough competition, but in the “idiocy” category GM seems to be the ruling champion.
Not only have they lost substantial amounts of taxpayer dollars, they have managed to do it while generating record profits...
