Ma ka Pōʻakahi, ua hoʻokumu nā limahana hana ʻo General Electric i ʻelua mau kūʻē kūʻē e koi ana i ka hui e hoʻohuli i kāna mau ʻoihana mīkini jet e hana i nā ventilator. Ma GE's Lynn, Massachusetts, ua mālama nā limahana i kahi kūʻē kūʻē, kū ʻeono kapuaʻi kaʻawale. Ua hele pū nā lālā o ka hui ma ke keʻena poʻo ʻo Boston i ʻeono kapuaʻi kaʻawale, e kāhea ana i ka ʻoihana e hoʻohana i kāna mau ʻoihana e kōkua i ka ʻāina e pani i kāna hemahema ventilator ma waena o ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus.

Hele mai kēia mau ʻōlelo kūʻē ma hope iho o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o General Electric e waiho ana ʻo ia i ka 10 pakeneka o kāna mau limahana hana mokulele, e puhi ana ma kahi o 2,600 mau limahana, me kahi "manawa" o ka 50 pākēneka o kāna mau limahana mālama i ke kauoha e hoʻopakele i ka ʻoihana. "$500 miliona a i $1 biliona." Ua hiki mai kēia nūhou i ka wā i mākaukau ai ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e hāʻawi i kahi bailout ʻoihana multi-triliona kālā komo pū ma ka liʻiliʻi he $ 50 biliona i ke kōkua federal a me $ 25 biliona i nā hōʻaiʻē a me ka hoʻomaha ʻauhau no ka ʻoihana mokulele, a me kahi $ 17 biliona hou aʻe no ke kōkua federal i nā hui i manaʻo ʻia he "koʻikoʻi i ka palekana aupuni." Ua ʻōlelo ʻo GE ʻaʻole manaʻo e noi kālā mai ka hooulu ana.

I loko o kahi kūkā nūhou, ua wehewehe nā lālā o ka Industrial Division of Communication Workers of America (IUE-CWA) i ke ʻano o ka hoʻopau ʻana a me ka pani ʻana o General Electric i kēia manawa e hoʻopau i nā hana e hiki mai ana e hoʻonui i ka hana ventilator. Me ka ʻole o nā limahana ʻike e hana i nā hale hana ʻole a hana ʻole, e lohi paha ka hana.

Ua hāʻawi ʻo IUE-CWA Local 86004 Pelekikena Jake Aguanaga i kāna mea kanu, aia ma Arkansas City, Kansas, ma ke ʻano he laʻana o ka nui o ka hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia: ʻoi aku ma mua o 52 pakeneka o kāna poʻe limahana ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia, a ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kekahi mau kahua pōpeku. ke noho wale nei ka hakahaka. "Inā hilinaʻi ʻo GE iā mākou e kūkulu, mālama, a hoʻāʻo i nā ʻenekini e holo ana ma nā mokulele like ʻole kahi e pili ana nā miliona o ke ola, no ke aha lā lākou e hilinaʻi ʻole ai iā mākou e kūkulu i nā ventilator?" wahi āna.

ʻO GE's Healthcare Division kekahi o nā mea hana nui loa o ka ʻāina i nā ventilator, no laila manaʻo nā lālā uniona e hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe e hana i nā mea ola ola. Ua ʻōlelo nā halemai a puni ka ʻāina he hapa nui o nā ventilator, a ua nui nā poʻe loea i noi aku iā Pelekikena Trump e kāhea i ka Defense Production Act e koi i nā hui e hana iā lākou. Trump Ua hoʻoholo hope e hana i General Motors hana i nā ventilator i ka hopena pule, ʻo ka mea mua ma a moʻo o nā ʻaelike e kāhea paha iā General Electric e hoʻonui i ka lako ventilator.

Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻoihana ua loaʻa pū kekahi hoʻonui i ka hana ventilator i loko o kāna hale hana ʻo Madison, Wisconsin, a ʻōlelo ʻo ia he pono e noʻonoʻo i nā pono o kāna mau mea kūʻai aku, e like me ka pūʻali koa US, ma mua o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā ʻano huahana i hana ʻia e kahi hale hana kūikawā.

"Ke hana nei ʻo GE a puni ka uaki e hoʻonui i ka hana o nā mea lapaʻau e pono ai. Ua pāpālua ʻo GE Healthcare i ka mana hana ventilator, me kahi hoʻolālā e pālua hou iā Iune, ma kahi o ka hui pū ʻana me Ford Motor Company e hoʻonui hou i ka hana ventilator, "i ʻōlelo ai ka hui ma kahi ʻōlelo. "Ke hoʻomau nei mākou e ʻimi i nā manawa hou e kākoʻo i ka hakakā ʻana me COVID-19, ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka hana koʻikoʻi no kā mākou mea kūʻai aku."

'Ōlelo nā lālā o CWA ua makemake nui lākou e kōkua.

"Pono nui ʻia nā Ventilator ma nā haukapila ma New York, Kaleponi, Washington State, a me Florida. ʻAʻole koke lākou e lako mai ka Hikina a i ke Komohana Komohana, mai Puerto Rico a i Hawaii, mai Alaska a me Illinois a Texas, "wahi a CWA Pelekikena Chris Shelton. "ʻAʻole ʻike ka hapa nui o ʻAmelika ua hana ʻia nā ventilator maikaʻi loa e General Electric i loko o ka māhele mālama olakino o ka hui."

"Ke hilinaʻi nei ko mākou ʻāina i kēia mau limahana akamai loa a i kēia manawa ke noʻonoʻo nei lākou i ke kumu e kū nei lākou i nā layoffs ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manawa e hoʻohana ai i kā lākou mau manaʻo hiki ʻole ke kōkua i ka hoʻopakele ola," wahi a Shelton.

Hōʻano hou: Ua hōʻano hou ʻia ke poʻomanaʻo o kēia moʻolelo no ka wehewehe ʻana i ka manaʻo o nā limahana i kā lākou hana he kūʻē a ʻaʻole he hele wāwae. Ua hōʻano hou ʻia me ka manaʻo mai GE.
