To get back to that story that stunned and angered Vaughn and company -- all across the country more than a dozen Chrysler workers -- -- boozing spoken bought all the lunch break day after day ball.
-- -- -- -- These people work UAW if that's union workers and you can't just finally have low and -- can't do that.
You've got to put -- through the arbitration process and that just dumb that's a one of those fired workers has just got his job back.
Rob -- check of WJBK.
In Detroit he broke the story -- -- a late 2010 he joins us now by phone.
-- -- real fast that an arbitration meeting the guy gets his job back arbitration did it imposed by the union correct.
That is right okay who appointed the obviously -- -- the average -- would have -- -- UAW.
I mean would have been process between the Chrysler and the UAW I I don't know -- arbitration.
Is that it's not like a court proceeding so I can't get records today at the private matter so it's it's kind of a deal they made them well.
Now that one guy's got his job back what about the others they still got to go through the arbitration process.
Well that's what I understand is going to be happening so this was one person out of get thirteen.
Delaware fired.
I don't know if there are going to be more -- believe they're probably is going to be.
More arbitration.
All -- -- precedence sedentary or whether this guy get somehow.
You know got away with -- Now Chrysler is very unhappy about this they've released a statement saying they did they didn't want this and is a real problem for them in terms of safety and reputation.
They don't like this apple.
I take it though that the union is happy.
Well I haven't heard from the union you know -- -- it has never spoken to be.
Personally ever since I started -- these stories.
And so I tried to talk to them yesterday and and so I don't like I would bet is happy.
They get their job they protected their worker that's they're job protecting -- worker.
They got this guy's job back.
Quite obviously is not -- -- I mean I think it's interesting that this guy would really didn't wanna go back to work.
Knowing that his employer doesn't really want to be there.
All right well rob please stay on the story and tell us what happens when the other workers go through the arbitration process and we'll be back to you very soon thank you rob -- All right.
