Where I work, you fail a drug test, you are out the door. I don't drink beer, and have never used pot. However, I would rather be around a bunch of potheads than a bunch of drunks.
Oddly enough, I have worked at far more non-union places, than union. You see, there are two kinds of non-union businesses. The first, avoids unions because of having to pay good wages and benefits, and provide a safe work place. The second, avoids them because of the inevitable personel conflicts. And pays it's people above standard pay and benefits. Has open paths of communications so that the people on the bottom can comminicate with upper management, and upper management regularly communicates with the people on the floor. If the management fails to stay in communication, then the business will go union.
That is the kind of businesses I have worked for most of my life. And I have the Unions to thank for the good wages and benefits that I have recieved.
Soo. what should happen with these Guys..? in your opinion..
They should be fired.
They will be fired. The unions won't even try to fight it, it's an insurance/liability issue.
Your right, they should be fired, but they won't be because the UNIONS WILL protect them. There might be a suspension with time off, or there may be a suspension on paper only and no time off, and there may be rehab....but they won't lose the jobs.
I know how this works because I was a union member at one time and I was a shop steward at one time.
