I worked in an auto plant in my youth. The UAW had a portion of the grounds where “Management” was prohibited from going. The union workers would go there on their lunch break. Many would smoke pot and come back into the plant to assemble axles for Chevy vans and trucks.

I have never owned a Chevy van or truck because of what I witnessed firsthand.

Brian Bosworth, the University of Oklahoma football player related some
of the similar BS at the GM plant in Oklahoma City (now closed!!!).
When he worked during summers, he said it was not uncommon to have
workers place pop-cans inside the door panels or suspend an nut/washer on
a string so the car would have knocks/noises.

I still can’t wrap my mind around why a car builder would want to
mess up his/her work-product.

An older buddy of mine spent his career at the UAW organized Allis-Chalmers tractor plant. One of the stairwells in the plant was just for sleepers. No one went there unless to catch a nap.

A gal I knew in college was a raving liberal attorney until she worked for a GM plant that built Corvettes in MI.

She saw drinking, beds, prostitution and some stuff she wouldn’t tell. She came round, but slowly.
