The druggie or boozing UAW members I knew used to smugly refer to this as their "fringe benefits"...
Auto workers caught again, but this time on UAW maintained/owned property (UAW swears it knows nothing about it...just like always)
I actually find it somewhat funny the media is even bothering with this now. 20 years ago it was positively RAMPANT, probably much less of a problem today, but the UAW-sympathetic media would NEVER report on it back then. Local parks, parking lots, or bars near the plant would have 10+ car-loads of druggies and drunks getting their buzz on at lunch (or before work) 20 years ago, not just two or three.
Some of these meeting places literally turned into a party one or two days per week, or became the staging/meeting area before moving to another location. e.g Jobbie Nooner
