I had a coworker who got stopped for DUI at 3 AM and blew a .032. Somehow she was allowed to go home and was at work at 6:30 that same morning. Unremarkable except I’m a school bus driver, so she was driving kids three and a half hours after blowing a .032.
She was suspended and after two weeks she was allowed to resign, so she is presumably still driving kids somewhere else. The reason for this is we’re unionized (Teamsters) and she was the shop steward, which made firing her very difficult. I’ve very pro-union but GOD DAMN there are some aspects to unions that just fucking suck.
Yeah, that’s a perversion of the union system. We’ve the same shit with doctors sometimes (in France). It’s a shame because it’s an easy win for opponents of the system.
