Kodi Ukapolo ndi Kuzembetsa Anthu ndizololedwa ku United States?

Kale, akapolo ankasunga akapolo pogwiritsa ntchito unyolo ndi zikwapu. Masiku ano, zachitika chifukwa cha mantha azachuma.
Kodi omwe adayambitsa mlandu waukulu kwambiri wozembetsa anthu komanso ukapolo ku United States adathawa popanda chilango?

Mu Seputembala 2010, anthu asanu ndi mmodzi omwe amalemba anthu ntchito akuimbidwa mlandu wokopa antchito 400 a m’mafamu kupita ku Hawaii kuchokera ku Thailand ndi kuwazunza pa mlandu umene FBI inati ndi mlandu waukulu kwambiri wozembetsa anthu m’mbiri ya United States.

Mlandu womwe sunasindikizidwe ku Honolulu panthawiyo udapalamula anthu asanu ndi mmodzi kuti anali ndi chiwembu chozembetsa anthu, kuphatikiza antchito anayi a Global Horizons Manpower, Inc., kampani yolembera anthu ntchito. Olemba ena awiri omwe amakhala ku Thailand nawonso adayimbidwa mlandu pamlanduwo.

Mlanduwu unati Global Horizons inabweretsa anthu 400 ochokera ku Thailand mu 2004 kupita kuzilumba kuti azigwira ntchito m'mafamu ku Hawaii ndi ku US mainland. Oimira boma pamilandu adati ogwira ntchitowo adakopeka ndi malonjezo abodza oti adzapatsidwa ntchito zamalipiro apamwamba koma amawadyera masuku pamutu ndikukakamizidwa kugwira ntchito, nthawi zambiri amalipidwa pang'ono kapena osalipidwa.

"Ndi nyambo yapamwamba-ndi-kusintha zomwe anali kuchita. Iwo ankauza antchito a ku Thailand chinthu chimodzi kuti awakope kuno. Kenako atafika kuno, adalandidwa mapasipoti awo ndipo adawakakamiza kugwira ntchito m'mafamuwa, "adatero Wothandizira Wapadera wa FBI Tom Simon. ?N'zomvetsa chisoni kuti izi zichitika.?

Anthu othawa kwawo ankagwira ntchito m'mafamu 13 mpaka 14 ku Oahu, Kauai, Maui ndi Big Island, kusamalira khofi, zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba. Olemba ntchito awo anaphatikizapo Aloun Farms ku Oahu komanso Maui Pineapple Farm, yomwe siilinso ndi bizinesi. Koma ogwira ntchito m'mafamuwo adatumizidwanso kumadera ena 12 akutali monga Florida, Ohio ndi Kentucky, FBI idatero.

Oimira boma pamilandu ndi FBI adati Global Horizons inkalemba anthu a ku Thailand, nthawi zambiri amawapangitsa kuti abwereke nyumba zawo kapena mafamu ku Thailand kuti alipire kampaniyo kulikonse kuyambira $9,000 mpaka $21,000 kuti awapezere ntchito ku United States.

Ngakhale adasaina mapangano otsimikizira malipiro ena, othawa kwawo nthawi zambiri amalipidwa ndalama zochepa kapena kukakamizidwa kugwira ntchito m'mafamu kwaulere, FBI idatero. Ndipo ngakhale kuti anauzidwa kuti adzalandira ziphaso zoyendera ntchito zomwe zimawalola kugwira ntchito mwalamulo ku United States kwa zaka zitatu, nthaŵi zina kampaniyo inkangokonza zongopeza ma visa akanthawi omwe amathera patatha milungu ingapo, malinga ndi zomwe maloya a ogwira ntchitowo ananena.

Alec ndi Mike Sou a ku Aloun Farms aliyense amayang'aniridwa zaka 20 m'ndende popanda chikhululukiro ngati atapezeka kuti ndi olakwa atasiya mgwirizano mu Seputembala womwe udabwera ndi chigamulo chachikulu cha zaka zisanu.

A Sous analolera kuzenga mlandu m’malo movomera pangano loti achitepo kanthu abale atatsutsa mfundo zina zimene anavomereza m’panganoli.

Iwo adavomereza kuphwanya ndondomeko ya ogwira ntchito zaulimi ku US, koma adakana kuti amazunza antchito, kuwalipira ndalama zochepa kapena kuwamana mapasipoti awo kuti awatsekere ku famu ya Kapolei, yomwe ndi gwero lalikulu la ndiwo zamasamba kuzilumba zakutali.

Zina mwazovomerezeka za a Sous zisanatsutsidwe ndi Woweruza Wachigawo cha US Susan Oki Mollway angagwiritsidwe ntchito motsutsana nawo.

M'malo mwake, mu August Chanchanit Martorell, Mtsogoleri Wamkulu wa Thai Community Development Center adalengeza kuchotsedwa kwa nkhaniyi ndi dipatimenti ya Justice US.

Iye anati: “Kumbuyo panga kuli anthu ogwira ntchito m’mafamu a ku Thailand amene anagwidwa ndi mlandu waukulu kwambiri wozembetsa anthu m’mbiri ya United States. Pa July 20, 2012, ndinalandira foni kuchokera kwa Wothandizira Woyimira milandu wa ku United States, Robert Moossy, Jr., Woyang'anira wamkulu wa Dipatimenti Yachilungamo ya US Department of Justice Criminal Section, ndi gulu lake, akundiuza kuti mlandu wa ku United States wotsutsana ndi Mordechai Orian ndi anzake wabwera. kuchotsedwa. Dipatimenti Yachilungamo idachotsanso madandaulo a anthu ena atatu. Foni imeneyo inatsatiridwa ndi kalata yondilembera ine yofotokoza chifukwa chimene Dipatimenti Yachilungamo inandichotsera ntchito.

Mosafunikira kunena, ine ndi antchito anga tinadabwa ndi kukhumudwa ndi nkhani zosayembekezereka patangotsala mwezi umodzi kuti mlandu waupandu uchitike.
Bungwe la Thai Community Development Center lakhala likuthandiza Dipatimenti Yachilungamo kumanga mlandu wotsutsana ndi Mordechai Orian, CEO wa Global Horizons Manpower Company, kuyambira 2003 pamene wogwira ntchito zaulimi woyamba ku Thailand anathawa m'munda wa ku Hawaii komwe adayikidwa ndi Global kuti akathyole zipatso mu ntchito yovuta. mikhalidwe. Wantchito wapafamu waku Thailand adathawa chifukwa adapezeka kuti akukhala ndikugwira ntchito ngati kapolo wapamunda momwe adatsekeredwa m'nyumba zowonongeka, kumayang'aniridwa ndi maola 24, osaloledwa kuyenda kulikonse, ndikulandidwa pasipoti. M'zaka ziwiri zotsatira, tidazindikira kuti wogwira ntchito pafamu waku Thailand uyu anali m'modzi mwa antchito 1,100 aku Thailand omwe adagulitsidwa ndi Global kupita ku US kukagwira ntchito m'mafamu m'maboma opitilira khumi ndi awiri. Chowonadi chinadziwika pomwe ena ambiri mwa ogwira ntchito m'mafamuwa adathawa m'mikhalidwe yotere ndikubwera ku Thai CDC kudzatiuza nkhani yawo ndikufunafuna chilungamo. Nthawi zonse amatiuza nkhani yofanana yachinyengo, kukakamiza komanso ndalama zambiri zolembera anthu ntchito zomwe zidabweretsa ngongole yosatheka. Bizinesi yapadziko lonse lapansi idakula kwambiri chifukwa cha pulogalamu ya visa ya H2-A, yokonzedwa kuti ikwaniritse kuchepa kwa ogwira ntchito zaulimi ku US ndi antchito osakhalitsa ochokera kunja. Chomwe mlandu wa Global watsimikizira, ndikuti pulogalamu ya H-2A ya alendo si kanthu koma chiphaso chotumizira anthu osauka omwe ali m'mafamu kukhala akapolo ku US.
Malinga ndi kalata yochokera ku Criminal Section of the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, iwo “sanathe kutsimikizira mopanda chikayikiro zonse za zolakwazo.” Komabe, adatitsimikizira kuti "chigamulo chawo chochotsa ntchito sichiyenera kutanthauzidwa ngati malingaliro oipa kwa makasitomala anu. Kuphatikiza apo, ena mwamakasitomala anu atsimikiza kale ... kukhala ozunzidwa ndi mtundu wina wozembetsa anthu."

Ziganizo ziwiri zokhazi zikuwoneka ngati zotsutsana! Kumbali imodzi sangathe kutsimikizira kuti Global ndi yolakwa, koma kumbali ina, ogwira ntchitowo ndi ozunzidwa ndi anthu?! Poganizira chisankho chawo chaposachedwa kuti asapereke milandu kwa chimphona chandalama Goldman Sachs chifukwa chogulitsa molakwika ngongole zanyumba za subprime panthawi yamavuto azachuma, zikuwoneka kuti a Obama Administration ndi Attorney General Eric Holder adagulitsa mfundo zawo kuti zithandizire pazandale pazisankho. chaka. Pankhani ya Goldman Sachs, Dipatimenti Yachilungamo idapereka chikalata chomwe sichinasayinidwe chomaliza kuti: "Kutengera malamulo ndi umboni womwe ulipo pakalipano, palibe chifukwa chomveka choimbira mlandu Goldman Sachs kapena antchito ake. ponena za zoneneza zimene zafotokozedwa mu lipoti [la Senate].”

Pamlandu wapadziko lonse lapansi, ngakhale kuti dipatimenti ya Zachilungamo idafufuza mozama zomwe zikukhudzana ndi kuyankhulana kosawerengeka kwamakasitomala athu ku Los Angeles ndi Hawaii komanso kusonkhanitsa mabokosi ndi mabokosi a zikalata ndi umboni womwe watenga zaka zinayi, mlanduwu sungathe kutsimikiziridwa popanda kukayikira? !

Chotsatira ichi sichiri chodalirika komanso chosavomerezeka. Thai CDC sidzasiya kutsata chilungamo m'malo mwa ogwira ntchito m'mafamu omwe azunzidwa. Mlandu wapachiweniweni womwe waperekedwa mu 2005 ndi a Equal Employment Opportunity Commission motsutsana ndi Global komanso eni famu chifukwa chophwanya ufulu wa anthu ogwira ntchito komanso kusankhana motengera mtundu ndi dziko lawo upitilizidwa mwamphamvu ngati njira zotsalira za ogwira ntchito kuti apeze chilungamo. chifukwa cha zolakwa zomwe adakumana nazo.

Kuchotsedwa kwa mlandu waukulu kwambiri wozembetsa anthu m'mbiri ya US kunachitika pa tsiku lokumbukira zaka 17 kuchokera ku Milandu yotchuka ya El Monte Thai Garment Slavery yomwe imadziwika kuti ndi mlandu woyamba waukapolo wamakono ku US. Komabe, m’malo mopita patsogolo polimbana ndi kuzembetsa anthu ntchito ndi kuimbidwa mlandu olakwa, Dipatimenti Yachilungamo yatumiza chizindikiro kwa onse ozembetsa kuti asamaope chilichonse ngati atsatira njira zopezera visa yanthawi yochepa.

Ozunzidwa posachedwapa awa akuimira gawo la anthu la capitalism yapadziko lonse lapansi komanso mpikisano wotsikira pansi ndi mabungwe amitundu yosiyanasiyana kuti apeze phindu lochulukirapo powonongera antchito. Ukapolo wamakono sunachitike mwangozi. Chinthu chimodzi chofunikira ndi chuma chatsopano chapadziko lonse lapansi chomwe chimapangitsa kuti ndalama zitheke pofunafuna ntchito zotsika mtengo. Kusintha kwamakono komanso kudalirana kwachuma padziko lonse lapansi kukuthamangitsiranso anthu kuchoka kudziko lawo kupita kuukapolo chifukwa pali phindu lalikulu la ntchito yaukapolo pachuma cha dziko lapansi. Phindu lalikulu likupezedwa kuchokera kuzinthu zopangidwa ndi akapolo pamene ogula akufunafuna ndalama zambiri. Chuma chatsopano chapadziko lonse lapansi chikugogomezeranso kukula kwachuma motsutsana ndi chitukuko chokhazikika m'maiko omwe akutukuka kumene.

Tili pano lero kuti tikudziwitseni kuti kuchitirana masuku pamutu ndi kuzunzidwa koopsa kuntchito ngakhale zofanana ndi kuzembetsa anthu, ukapolo wa ngongole, ntchito yokakamiza, ndi ukapolo sizingapitirire kukhalapo ndikukula mosalekeza. Zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi ziwiri pambuyo pa El Monte, timapeza kuti mliri wa ukapolo wamakono sunali chinthu chaufupi chabe koma chitsanzo chatsopano cha bizinesi chomwe chikufalikira ngati khansara, mofulumira komanso mosalekeza.

Kodi mbadwo uwu wa Amereka uyenera kukhala m'chitaganya cha neo-feudal kumene olemera ochepa amakhala ngati mafumu pakati pa nyanja ya masautso aumunthu? Kodi izi ndizabwino kwambiri zomwe tingachitire dziko lathu, dziko la mfulu ndi olimba mtima?
Mlandu wa El Monte unalidi nkhondo yoyamba ya anthu ogwira ntchito padziko lonse lapansi yomwe mzinda wathu udawona, kutsimikizira kuti ngati likulu lingathe kubwezeretsanso malire akale m'malo mwake, momwemonso anthu angathere, ndipo cholowa cha kampeniyi ndikumenya nkhondo yathu yobweretsa chilungamo. kwa ogwira ntchito m'mafamu aku Thailand.

Tiyenera kuonetsetsa kuti kudalirana kwa mayiko kumapereka phindu ndi mwayi kwa ogwira ntchito kulikonse, osati kuyambitsa "mpikisano wopita pansi."

Monga akapolo akapolo a El Monte Thai adadziwonetsera okha, kumenyana kwawo sikunali chabe ndalama chifukwa munthu sangaike mtengo paufulu. Nkhondo yawo ndi mbali ya nkhondo yaikulu yomwe ikuchitika tsiku ndi tsiku padziko lonse lapansi. Ndi kulimbana kubweretsa kuyankha ndi chilungamo ku dongosolo lazachuma lomwe lakula modalira kugwiritsa ntchito mopanda chifundo kwa anthu ogwira ntchito opanda chitetezo komanso osaloledwa kuti apeze phindu lochulukirapo kuposa kale.

Ogwira ntchito ku Thailand adatumiza kalata yotseguka iyi kwa Attorney General wa US Eric Holder:

Wokondedwa Attorney General Holder:

Ndife ogwira ntchito m'mafamu aku Thailand omwe tidazunzidwa chifukwa chozembetsa anthu pa Global Horizons Manpower Case. Sizinali zophweka kuti tibwere kuno. Tinakhala ndi ngongole zambiri ndi kugonjera ku mavuto aakulu ndi kudyeredwa masuku pamutu, koma tinabwera chifukwa chakuti sitikanatha kusamalira mabanja athu ndi zinthu zochepa zomwe tili nazo kunyumba. Tasiya mabanja athu ndi chiyembekezo choti tidzalandira malipiro oyenerera pa ntchito yathu. M’malo mwake, tinakakamizika kuloŵa m’mkhalidwe woipa umene palibe aliyense wa ife ankayembekezera. Ambiri a ife tinabwezeredwa kwathu ku Thailand pamene tinatsutsa mkhalidwe wathu, koma tonsefe amene tinatsalira m’dziko la United States tinakhulupirira kuti tidzapeza chilungamo m’dziko lino.

Tinauzidwa kuti tidzakhala otetezeka chifukwa malamulo a ku United States anali odalirika. Tinkadziwa kuti kwathu tikakhala pachiwopsezo. Popeza tinapereka lipoti ku boma la United States, tinauzidwa kuti milanduyo ikufufuzidwa.

Ena aife timakhala maola ambiri tikufotokozera zomwe takumana nazo mobwerezabwereza kwa othandizira aboma. Ambiri aife tinali ndi zikalata zofunika kutsimikizira kuti zonse zomwe tinanena zinali zoona. Nthawi yochuluka inali itadutsa, zaka zingapo, ndipo tinali ndi chikhulupiriro mu dongosolo lachilungamo la US. Tinkadziwa kuti amene anapalamula mlanduwu tsiku lina adzalangidwa chifukwa analakwitsa kulanda ndalama, ulemu ndi malo athu.

Pambuyo polimbana ndi nthawi yayitali komanso yovutayi tikuuzidwa kuti milandu yonse yachiwembu imachotsedwa, ngakhale ena mwa oimbidwa mlanduwo adalumbira kale. Pambuyo pa zaka ndi zaka zofufuza, tinali okondwa kumva nkhaniyi patangotsala mwezi umodzi kuti mlandu uyambe. Tinali okonzeka kulimbana ndi olakwawo, okonzeka kupita ku khoti ku Honolulu kukakumana ndi Motti, Pranee, Sam, ndi ena onse ponena za zimene anatichitira. Tinkafuna chilungamo.

Pepani kuti mlanduwu watha mwadzidzidzi osazengedwa. Pepani makamaka chifukwa tikudziwa zomwe takumana nazo komanso zomwe tikupirirabe mpaka pano chifukwa cha Global ndipo palibe chomwe chidzasinthe izi.
