TAR HEEL_La Junta Nacional de Relaciones Laborales, NLRB, bajo la ordenanza de la juez de leyes administrativas, Lawrence W. Cullen, publicÃƒÂ³ su decisiÃƒÂ³n en el caso del sindicato United Food & Comercial Workers International, AFL-CIO en contra de QSI, Inc y Smithfield Packing Co., suscitado en otoÃƒÂ±o del 2003, en la que se violaron los derechos de los trabajadores en la huelga realizada por los empleados de QSI en la planta de Smithfield, mediante amenazas, acoso, agresiÃƒÂ³n fÃƒÂ*sica, arresto ilegal y despidos injustificados.

El caso empezÃƒÂ³ cuando los trabajadores de la QSI, que se encontraban limpiando en el tercer turno las instalaciones de Smithfield, decidieron salirse de sus puestos de trabajo como protesta por el despido de uno de sus supervisores.

Los gerentes de la QSI convencieron a los trabajadores de volver a sus puestos de trabajo, bajo la promesa de que les incrementarÃƒÂ*an a un dÃƒÂ³lar la hora, ademÃƒÂ¡s de otras concesiones.

A la semana siguiente, la QSI con la ayuda de la policÃƒÂ*a de Smithfield, intentÃƒÂ³ despedir a los supervisores y a los trabajadores que participaron en la acciÃƒÂ³n de la semana anterior.

Cuando los trabajadores decidieron abandonar sus puestos de trabajo como muestra de apoyo hacia sus compaÃƒÂ±eros despedidos, la policÃƒÂ*a de Smithfield intentÃƒÂ³ impedir que salieran de la planta.

La juez dijo que la salida de los empleados era una pacÃƒÂ*fica protesta protegida por las leyes federales del trabajo. Ã¢â‚¬Å“Los empleados pueden salir pacÃƒÂ*ficamente de la planta como protesta por los despidos de sus supervisoresÃ¢â‚¬?.

Ã¢â‚¬Å“La violencia que pasÃƒÂ³ durante la huelga en Smithfield empezÃƒÂ³ por la gerencia de QSI y los oficiales de policÃƒÂ*a de Smithfield, al bloquear las entradas para impedir que los empleados salieranÃ¢â‚¬?, manifiesta Cullen.

Un gerente de la QSI dijo a los empleados que las autoridades federales de inmigraciÃƒÂ³n los podrÃƒÂ*a arrestar, mientras otros empleados fueron empujados y arrestados.

Los oficiales de la policÃƒÂ*a de Smithfield metieron a uno de los empleados a la caneca de la basura. Otros empleados fueron arrestados y catorce empleados fueron despedidos por su participaciÃƒÂ³n en la huelga. Ã¢â‚¬Å“Smithfield y QSI violaron las leyes federales del trabajo, asaltando a los empleados, amenazÃƒÂ¡ndolos con las autoridades federales de inmigraciÃƒÂ³n, violentÃƒÂ¡ndolos y arrestÃƒÂ¡ndolosÃ¢â‚¬?, dijo la juez.

Cullen, habiendo encontrado que QSI y Smithfield violaron las leyes, recomendÃƒÂ³ cesar y desistir en este tipo de actos y tomar ciertas acciones para efectuar los propÃƒÂ³sitos y reglas del Acta y colocar pÃƒÂºblicamente las notificaciones apropiadas tanto en inglÃƒÂ©s como en espaÃƒÂ±ol.

RecomendÃƒÂ³ que QSI, Inc. debe ofrecer inmediatamente la restituciÃƒÂ³n de sus antiguos puestos o posiciones equivalentes, pagar a los empleados despedidos todos los salarios perdidos, beneficios y demÃƒÂ¡s pÃƒÂ©rdidas y remover de sus archivos todas las referencias de acciones tomadas contra ellos.

En una declaraciÃƒÂ³n hecha al periÃƒÂ³dico The Fayetteville Observer, Smithfield dijo que la evidencia no soporta la opiniÃƒÂ³n de la juez. La compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a hizo su propia investigaciÃƒÂ³n, que contradice las conclusiones de Cullen y planea apelarla. QSI no realizÃƒÂ³ comentario alguno sobre la reglamentaciÃƒÂ³n de Cullen.

En una declaraciÃƒÂ³n Smithfield expresÃƒÂ³: Nosotros colocamos en primer lugar la seguridad, salud y bienestar de nuestros empleados y nuestros contratistas. Procuramos por continuas mejoras para hacer de Smithfield un lugar seguro y un lugar de trabajo saludable, porque sabemos que nuestra gente es nuestro mÃƒÂ¡s preciado recursoÃ¢â‚¬?.

Los cortes comenzarÃƒÂ¡n este mes. Los oficiales de la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a empezaron a decirles a los empleados sobre esta decisiÃƒÂ³n y no se ha tomado ninguna decisiÃƒÂ³n respecto del edificio de 400.000 pies cuadrados, localizado sobre la US 301.

Black & Decker, cuya principal se encuentra en Towson, aÃƒÂ±adirÃƒÂ¡ 250 trabajos en Jackson que emplea actualmente a 1.550 trabajadores. La operaciÃƒÂ³n en MÃƒÂ©xico no aÃƒÂ±adirÃƒÂ¡ necesariamente trabajos, dijo Ivonne Dashiell, gerente en Fayetteville y directora de recursos humanos para las herramientas elÃƒÂ©ctricas de Norte AmÃƒÂ©rica.

Desde el 2002 la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a ha estado moviendo las manufactureras de alto costo en los Estados Unidos por bajos costos a MÃƒÂ©xico, China y RepÃƒÂºblica Checa. La compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a cerrÃƒÂ³ en el 2003 una planta en Easton, Maryland, y enviÃƒÂ³ alrededor de 1.300 empleos a MÃƒÂ©xico.

El empleo de la planta de Fayetteville ha bajado significativamente durante los ÃƒÂºltimos aÃƒÂ±os. Alrededor de 300 trabajadores fueron despedidos entre octubre y diciembre. La fuerza laboral que en el 2000 era de 2.300 tiempo completo y temporales, era de menos de 700 este aÃƒÂ±o.

Estrategia de la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a

El analista Bentley Offutt, dijo que Black & Decker ha estado cerrando plantas domÃƒÂ©sticas para recortar los costos. La estrategia era incrementar el efectivo y reducir la deuda para entonces comprar nuevas compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*as y adicionar nuevos productos y crecimiento del combustible.

Black & Decker espera un 15% de crecimiento en ventas durante los primeros cuatro meses del aÃƒÂ±o. La compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a presentÃƒÂ³ ventas en el 2004 durante el mismo periodo de $1,1 billones.

Los congresistas del estado afirman que los cierres son parte de la tendencia en todo el paÃƒÂ*s que va a acabar con las economÃƒÂ*as regionales.

Durante las dos primeras semanas, los 700 trabajadores de la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a chequeaban diariamente para saber cuÃƒÂ¡ndo podÃƒÂ*an comenzar a trabajar. Sus trabajos dependen de la habilidad de la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a para alcanzar las regulaciones de USDA, por tal motivo, los oficiales de la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a crearon dos lÃƒÂ*neas -en inglÃƒÂ©s y en espaÃƒÂ±ol- para que los empleados de la planta cerrada llamen cada tarde. Los que llaman escucharÃƒÂ¡n un mensaje grabado que les informarÃƒÂ¡ cuando la planta se abra.

DespuÃƒÂ©s de que la planta se cerrÃƒÂ³, la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a presentÃƒÂ³ un plan correctivo, el cual USDA rechazÃƒÂ³ y en abril 9, USDA aprobÃƒÂ³ una modificaciÃƒÂ³n del plan para arreglar los problemas en la planta..

Ã¢â‚¬Å“Si House of Raeford permanece cerrado por mÃƒÂ¡s de ocho semanas, la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a puede aplicar por una extensiÃƒÂ³n a travÃƒÂ©s de la comisiÃƒÂ³nÃ¢â‚¬?.

Jonson dijo que ni los trabajadores ni la producciÃƒÂ³n han sido afectados en la nueva planta en Raeford. Esta planta cocina aves procesadas por la planta vieja de Raeford. Dijo ademÃƒÂ¡s que la compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ*a mantiene reservas de aves en refrigeradores en ambas plantas.
