I think the point is simple; it's just like going out and drinking during lunch; it's against any company policy and in this case it's illegal as well. Whatever your personal notions are it's cool especially if you're off for the rest of the day but in this case you have to return to work.

They can smoke/drink on their own dime as much as they want, but to use them on the job is unacceptable. A few infringing on the rules is ruining things for everyone.

At my old job drinking on a job was no big deal. Office manager would buy a few cases of beer every week and put them in a fridge for anyone to use.
It was totally normal to have a beer here and there (as long as you do not get shitfaced), but then again, we did not operate heavy machinery, and/or did not directly interact with customers.

Have to keep in mind most of these workers are UAWs which IIRC makes it a PITA to fire problematic employees.
My friend's uncle used to work at a GM factory in the 90s.. workers would purposefully screw up the assembly on a car if they were mad at the employer or 'just felt like it'.

Those who dont think these kind of 'activities' dont happen at car makers, or any other businesses around the globe for that matter, are in a word....... naive.

sometimes a little grass helps repetitive, boring factory work go by quicker
it's not like they're dropping acid and racing forklifts or something
