如果你失業了

(2009/3/24聯合報A1版「上月失業率5.75% 史上新高」)

 

遠見雜誌發行人王力行,在3月分雜誌專欄裡,寫下了如果你失業了(〈)這篇文章。而從昨天(2009/3/24)各大報都沒有漏掉的一則新聞(失業率創史上新高),不難知道「如果你失業了」這句話,對不少人來說早已不是個假設,而是正在發生中的事實。

 

上上個星期二(3/10),我有機會到慈濟大學以「學校很少教的事」為題,跟同學分享我的勞動經驗以及對台灣勞工處境的觀察。其中一段,便是花了些力氣在反駁〈如〉文所提到的:「有人說:一定要有『靠救濟是一種墮落』的心態,才能讓自己不失業。怨天尤人、把責任都推給別人,不如『活在當下』『先動起來最重要』。」我相信,正是這種說法,才讓台灣勞工陷於今天的一敗塗地。

 

「美國華爾街掀起的金融海嘯,已延伸為大失業潮,潮水覆蓋全球,從美洲、歐洲而亞洲,無一倖免。」這句被王發行人拿來為這篇文章破題的話,精確地點出至今讓許多工人失業的罪魁禍首——擁有金融資本的權貴們透過衍生性商品在市場上興風作浪,並在搜刮財富後,將整個泡沫爆裂的代價以大規模的失業,推給無力自保的勞工階層來苦吞這場遊戲的惡果。

 IMG_1778.jpg

(2009/3/24聯合報A4版,「天天瞞妻『上班』去 失業漢燒炭」)

 

如果引發這次大失業潮的許多不公不義,至今還未被好好地清算;過程中受害最深的工人階層,正因為無法被制度保護而陷於生死邊緣之際,憑什麼要相信「靠救濟是一種墮落」的心態,來確保自己不失業?

 

這是什麼道理?!

 

然而攤開每天每日的報章,這樣偏廢的言論卻不斷地充斥在大眾的眼耳間。就拿天下、遠見雜誌的樣版企業——台積電來說,光是這個(3)月就備受主流媒體以大量篇幅來款待,不論是蟬連「天下企業公民獎」的大型企業首獎、或是其執行長蔡力行列名巴隆金融周刊(Barron's年度全球最受敬重的執行長,連因為短期訂單增加取消無薪假,都能成為頭條新聞(1)。但台積電於此同時發生的勞資爭議,卻遲遲無法在主流媒體曝光(2)

 

這種報導取向不僅遮掩事實的全貌,更嚴重糟蹋、削弱勞動者的尊嚴與意志。如果我們無法在這次大失業潮,找到正確的教訓,那麼即使這次失業潮過去了,下一次失業潮來臨時,同樣會有另外那麼一大群人,被這個制度推向死亡的懸崖邊。如果這次大失業潮有什麼正面的意義,那麼我覺得,反而「正是要怨天尤人、把責任推給別人,才有可能讓自己不失業。」

 

台灣的失業工人之所以會獨自走向貧窮、燒炭的命運,很大部分正是因為我們長期把失業當成個別勞工的錯誤與罪過,卻錯失集體面對、思考制度結構嚴重缺損的問題。如何透過這次因權貴階級把玩資本遊戲,而讓無辜勞工承擔痛苦的大失業潮,讓大眾至少能在「失業不只是我的錯」這個共識下,思考並推動妥善處理失業創傷的制度療法,才是一個正確的理絡,絕對不該再走回高唱勞工自我調適、增值的老路上。

 

在那天結束慈濟大學的分享後,有些同學仍意猶未盡地伴著我跟另一位講者提出他們的問題與感想,其中有位同學跟我說著她那同樣作為搬運工人的父親,我記得自己說了下面這段話:「我們工人的每一分錢都是靠著自己血汗,清清白白賺來的,沒有一分是不勞而獲、不義之財。」最後我說,「所以我覺得,當個勞動者是很光榮的一件事。」

 

明明不是我們不夠努力,而是這個社會給予我們的認識與尊重,太少。

 

12009年天下企業公民獎,由台積電、台達電、信義房屋等40家本土企業獲得,並於3/13頒獎;「好消息 台積電 聯電 取消無薪假」(蘋果日報2009/3/21頭版頭條)最受敬重CEO 蔡力行進榜」(2009/3/22經濟日報)

 

2:台積電於今年初進行裁員,此舉不僅違背其執行長蔡力行對外宣稱的台積電不會裁員,更因為公司不願開立「非自願離職證明書」,導致被裁員員工無法領取失業給付與進修的補貼而引發勞資爭議。在3/24台積電自救會員工走進勞委會陳情之前的這段時間內,僅有自由時報以及苦勞網針對此事進行報導,其他媒體多僅轉述公司「無裁員,僅有5%人力汰換」的說法。

「商人可以賺很多很多錢讓自己腰纏萬貫,然後呢?」

然後想辦法運用那些錢去賺更多錢。
哈,這可不是玩笑話,因為遊戲規則是,你若不這麼作,就等著被對手吃掉,或者被市場淘汰。

對某些人,失業是另一種放假.
但對多數的勞工, 是煩惱的加重. 困苦的開始.
人的資質體力運氣先天後天不同. 正面思考是勉勵的話. 但不能變成空話.

看懂趨勢又如何, 生活溫飽不須要收入嗎? 創業不需要資金嗎? 不須要負成敗嗎? 加盟是免費的嗎?

經濟不好, 唯一沒影響的是詐騙集團的業務.

各司所職. 總要有人替勞工發言的. 總要有人放棄做生意的時關懷大眾. 總要有人對不公不義提出修正的要求的.

商人可以賺很多很多錢讓自己腰纏萬貫,然後呢?

I would like everyone to read and listen to this news.

Go to the following website:

The Current for March 26, 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's Thursday, March 26th.

Workers at a 3M plant in France have kidnapped one of their bosses to protest lay-offs at the company.

Currently, if you want to hear the punchline, please send 171 million dollars to the CBC.

This is The Current.

Part One: CEO Kidnappings

Reporter

Yesterday, hundreds of frustrated employees at the Continental Tyre Company took to the streets of Paris. They burned tires, waved flags and paraded outside the office of President Nicholas Sarkozy. There are more than 2 million people already out of work in France. Thousands more are expected to join their ranks. And the sense of frustration -- even desperation -- is palpable. Earlier this week, Luc Rousselet -- the director of 3M's operations in France -- walked into the company's factory in Pithiviers, about 100 kilometres south of Paris. He was there to negotiate severance payments for 110 employees. But the employees didn't like the terms he was offering. So they locked him in his office for two days.

After negotiations that ran into the night, Luc Rousselet was released and more talks between workers and management were underway. Jenny Barchfield was covering the story for the Associated Press and she was on location at the factory.

Professor

Now, France has its own particular culture around labour relations, one that's very different from North America. But Canada and the United States are awash in lay-offs too. And according to Gary Chaison, we might be more susceptible to militant job action than we think. Gary Chaison teaches Industrial Relations at Clark University and he was in Worchester, Massachusetts.

Steelworkers President

There's no suggestion that Canadian workers are planning any executive kidnappings. But according to Ken Neumann, they have been using more direct forms of action to push back against job cuts. He's the National Director for Canada for the United Steelworkers and he's in Timmins, Ontario.

整個社會一直都充斥這類言論,這大概就是資本主義的精髓所在:弱肉強食;勝者王,敗者寇。

記得一兩年前全球面臨嚴重通貨膨脹,民眾苦不堪言,那時在某電視台的政論頻道上看到台大那個哲學系的教授當特別來賓。他說了一番話,主要大意是教人民要學著降低物質慾望、從精神層面去充實自己、沒錢有沒錢的生活方式、不要怨天尤人....之類的,我看了頗為傻眼,台大哲學系教授竟是這種言論,唉......。

『靠救濟是一種墮落』這種話只是騙我們無產階級去勞動的謊言罷了~

不然你去和資本家說『靠剝削勞工賺錢是一種墮落』你看那些資本家理不理你?

什麼『沒有不景氣,只有不爭氣』,這些資本家剝削完勞工後說的這種風涼話.....最可悲的是還有一大堆和我們一樣的無產階級相信了....

可悲啊!
