Ndine pro-Union ndipo ntchito yanga yoyamba Air Force ndi koleji akugwira ntchito ngati bungwe la United Farm Workers Union ku Florida - kukonza okolola zipatso.
Zaka zingapo zapitazo ndidapemphedwa ndi membala wa mgwirizano kuti ayende ndi ogwira ntchito a BIW omwe amatsutsana ndi kuyang'anira kwa General Dynamics poyesetsa kuti ayende pang'onopang'ono koma mosakayikira amaphwanya mgwirizanowu pa malo osungiramo sitimawo ndikutumiza ntchito kumisika yosagwirizana ndi mabungwe. Ndinalowa nawo ndewu mwachidwi. Kwazaka zambiri ndakhala ndikumva kuchokera kwa antchito ambiri a BIW za madandaulo awo motsutsana ndi kampaniyi.
Sikuti GD yekha wafika ku mzinda wa Bath atanyamula chikho cha siliva m'manja (pomwe CEO wawo wamkulu anali kukoka mabonasi mamiliyoni ambiri) kupempha ndalama zambiri zaphwanya msonkho, koma pazaka zapitazo kampaniyi idapita kuboma mobwerezabwereza ikumafuna kuti misonkho ichotsedwe , akuwopseza kuti achoke ku Maine.
GD sanachite zochepa kuti asiyane ndi kupanga asitikali ankhondo ku BIW, kaya pakumanga kwa sitima zam'madzi, kapena popanga zida zina zosagwirizana pankhondo. Chifukwa chake, ngati magulu ankhondo amachepetsa, antchito amalandira ndalama zochepa.
GD nthawi zambiri imabweretsa oyang'anira apakati a oyang'anira apakati ndi oyang'anira omwe sadziwa zambiri za ins ndi kutuluka kwa zomangamanga pazinthu zilizonse zopangidwira, zomwe zimayambitsa kuchepa ndi zinthu zosagwirizana ndi momwe mabungwewo amadzudzulidwa.
Makina opanga zida zankhondo ambiri omwe angathe kugwiritsa ntchito anthu mazana ambiri, ngati si masauzande, sangakhale opindulitsa pamalo opangira sitimayo ndipo ndikudziwa kuti ambiri ogwira ntchito amathandizira izi.
Pokhala ndi kulengeza kwa Trump akufuna kukokera ku US kuchoka ku Paris Climate Change Accords chiyembekezo chathu chothana ndi zoopsa zanyengo yadziko lapansi kwadzetsa vuto lina lalikulu. Asitikali aku US ali ndi mtundu waukulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Washington Washington 'inanenetsa' kuti Pentagon isamayang'anidwe ndi ndondomeko ya kusintha kwa nyengo ku Kyoto ndipo mgwirizano waposachedwa ku Paris wapereka lipoti lokhudza zakusankhika mwadala.
Ku Holland, sitima zamagetsi zonse zimayendetsedwa ndi mphamvu yamagetsi. Ma turbines oyendera mphepete mwa nyanja ndi makina oyendera ndege atha kumangidwa ku BIW monga momwe zimathandizira mphamvu zamagetsi ndi mphamvu zamagetsi dzuwa. Zomwe zofunikira ndikusowa kwa ndale. Wochotsa Frederick Douglass adati, "Mphamvu sizivomereza chilichonse popanda kupempha. Sizinachitikepo ndipo sizidzatero. ”Tiyenera kuchita izi kuti mibadwo yamtsogolo ikhale ndi chiyembekezo chodzapulumuka.
Pamsonkano wa Tsiku la Ogwira Ntchito ku 1994 ku BIW omwe adalankhulapo adaphatikizanso Purezidenti wa BIW Buzz Fitzgerald, Purezidenti wa S6 a Stoney Dionne, Purezidenti wa IAM National George Kourpias, Rep. Tom Andrews, TreL wa Treasurer wa AFL-CIO Tom Donahue, Sen. George Mitchell ndi Purezidenti wa Bill Clinton. Kuwona chochitikachi pazosungidwa za C-SPAN zinali zodabwitsa kwambiri kuti onse omwe amalankhula amayitanitsa kutembenuka kwa bwalo la sitimalo. Lero tikupeza kuti GD alibe chidwi ndi mayendedwe abwino. (Tizikumbukira kuti GD imagwiritsa ntchito ndalama za msonkho) kupanga owononga. Chifukwa chiyani ndalama zomwezo za msonkho wa boma sizingagwiritsidwe ntchito popanga matekinoloje osatha?)
Ogwira ntchito ndi mabungwe ku BIW sangapange kutembenuka kwamtunduwu (kapena kusiyanasiyana) kudzichitikira mwa iwo okha. Amakhala akulimbana tsiku lililonse kuti akwaniritse mgwirizano wawo ndi GD ndipo amadya kwambiri poyesetsa kupewa kubisala.
Pulofesa wakale wa University of Columbia mainjiniya a Seymour Melman adatcha makina athu apano "capitalism yoyendetsedwa ndi Pentagon." Melman adanenanso kuti USA mozungulira 1990 idataya luso lakelo pakupanga mafakitale ogwiritsa ntchito makina (ndi akatswiri ena). mumasitima apamalonda - makamaka chifukwa chokhazikika pazomangamanga.
Gulu lamtendere limachita zionetsero pafupipafupi ku BIW, koma sitikuyang'ana kwa ogwira ntchito. Tikuyesa kupanga zokambirana mdera momwe zingafunikire kusintha kwa zinthu zokhazikika, zopanga zochepa za BIW. Timamvetsetsa kuti General Dynamics ndi bungwe lomwe limakhala ndi mphamvu yopanga zisankho zazikulu izi - pamodzi ndi atsogoleri athu osankhidwa ngati Collins, King, Pingree ndi Poliquin.
Tikudziwa kuti ogwira ntchito ndi mabungwe ali ndi malingaliro pazinthu zomwe zitha kuchitidwa ku BIW kuti akhazikitse ntchito pantchito yosungira zombo. Ayenera kupatsidwa gawo lofunikira poganizira zomwe zingamangidwe bwino. Koma zonsezi sizingachitike pokhapokha gulu lamtendere, gulu lazachilengedwe, gulu lachipembedzo, mabungwe ogwira ntchito, atsogoleri andale, komanso anthu wamba atakhala olimbikitsa posintha njira kuchoka ku nkhondo yopanda kulimbana ndi kusintha kwanyengo TSOPANO posintha malo ngati BIW.
Ogwira ntchitoyi ali olanda panthawiyi ya kunyalanyaza kwandale komwe palibe chomwe chimachitika. Ndimachita nawo gawo limodzi ndikulimbikitsa aliyense m'deralo kuti azithandizira kuti chilengedwe, anthu, ndi antchito abwere pamwamba.
