一家中国玻璃制造企业拒绝配合国会监督调查的决定，促使加利福尼亚州民主党众议员罗·卡纳召集了该工厂的前员工们举行圆桌会议。与会者纷纷讲述了工厂内存在的诸多危险工作环境，以及他们对自身安全的担忧。
A Chinese glass manufacturer’s decision not to comply with a congressional oversight inquiry prompted Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., to convene a revealing roundtable with the plant’s former workers, where they described a series of hazardous work conditions and fears for their safety.
作为众议院“中国共产党特别委员会”的资深成员，卡纳于7月份首次联系福耀玻璃美国公司及其中国母公司福耀玻璃工业集团股份有限公司，要求对方提供有关公司经营及劳工管理方面的相关文件。
Khanna, the ranking member on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), first reached out to Fuyao Glass America and its Chinese parent company Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co., Ltd. in July, requesting documents detailing the company’s business and labor practices.
2019年， Netflix纪录片《美国工厂》以福耀收购俄亥俄州代顿市一家原通用汽车工厂的过程为题材，由此福耀迅速引起了美国铁锈地带乃至全国民众的关注。
Fuyao quickly drew the attention of Americans in the Rust Belt and beyond when it became the subject of the 2019 Netflix documentary "American Factory," which chronicled its takeover of a former General Motors plant outside of Dayton, Ohio.
此后，这家企业接连陷入各类丑闻：因违反职业安全与健康规定而遭到美国职业安全与健康管理局处以数十万美元的罚款；2018年，工厂工人里基·帕特森不幸身亡。
LAWMAKERS PRESS DHS IN LETTER OVER CHINESE FORCED LABOR ALLEGATIONS, FLAG POPULAR LABUBU DOLLS The company has since been mired in scandals ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for workplace safety violations to the 2018 death of factory worker Ricky Patterson.
在10月份写给福耀管理层的信中，卡纳严厉批评了该公司拒绝沟通的态度，指出福耀仅回复了一封信件来回应他多次发出的询问。卡纳在信中写道，福耀于9月23日发来的回复“几乎未实质性回答委员会提出的任何问题，也未附上任何相关文件”。
In a subsequent October letter to Fuyao leadership, Khanna decried the company’s refusal to dialogue, condemning them for only sending one single letter in response to his numerous inquiries. Fuyao's Sept. 23 response, Khanna wrote in his Oct. 1 letter to the company, "answers virtually none of the Committee’s questions in a material way and fails to include any document submissions."
尽管福耀方面始终保持沉默，卡纳仍专程前往近几十年来制造业岗位大量流失的俄亥俄州西部地区。周二，他在代顿市美国通信工人联合会工业分会总部主持了一场圆桌会议，与会者包括福耀的前员工以及现任工会领袖。
CHINA’S INFLUENCE MACHINE: FEDERAL RECORDS EXPOSE BEIJING’S PUSH TO SWAY AMERICA Despite Fuyao’s silence, Khanna made the journey to Western Ohio, an area of the country decimated by a loss of manufacturing jobs in recent decades. Khanna convened a roundtable discussion on Tuesday involving former Fuyao employees and current union leaders at the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA) headquarters in Dayton, Ohio.
大卫·马库斯：在俄亥俄州代顿市，两党选民均陷入强烈的政治失望情绪。在讨论过程中，前福耀员工们倾诉了诸多不满：车间内酷热难耐、无法与中国籍主管正常沟通，还有中国籍同事涉嫌违反劳动法规等问题。
DAVID MARCUS: IN DAYTON, OHIO, BOTH PARTIES FACE BITTER POLITICAL DESPONDENCY During the discussion, former Fuyao workers described unbearable heat, an inability to communicate with their Chinese supervisors, and apparent labor violations involving their Chinese counterparts, among other grievances. "The heat in there is unbearable.
“车间里的温度高得让人难以忍受，可他们根本不在乎，”曾在福耀工作了三年的蒂芙尼·摩尔对在场众人说道。
They don't care," Tiffany Moore, who worked at Fuyao for three years, told the group. AMERICA’S BROKEN LEGAL IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IS REPLACING US WORKERS BY DESIGN "There's the language barrier.
“语言障碍是个大问题。他们没法和你交流。当你试图沟通时，他们又会派别人来应付你。或许其中有人会说英语，”摩尔继续说道。
They can't communicate with you. When you try to communicate with them, they'll send someone else to you. Maybe one of them speaks English," Moore continued.
和在场许多前福耀员工一样，摩尔如今在通用汽车旗下的发动机制造商杜拉马克斯工作，她说自己在这里开心多了。不过为了能申请到这份工作，她不得不采取一些隐蔽手段，以免遭到福耀管理层的报复。
Like many of the former Fuyao employees at the table, Moore now works at Duramax, a General Motors-owned engine manufacturer, where she says she is much happier. But to even apply for the position she had to employ clandestine measures to avoid retaliation from her Fuyao bosses.
“你没法提前两周提交离职申请，因为一旦提交了，他们就会以各种理由在你满两周前就把你解雇。他们甚至会声称无需任何理由就能解雇员工，只为能招到新人填补空缺。所以我离开福耀时，实际上是偷偷溜走的，先去杜拉马克斯报到，之后才打电话告知他们我不会回去了，并请求公司发放我的401(k)养老金，”摩尔回忆道。
I'M THE ACTING SECRETARY OF LABOR AND I'M HERE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE AMERICAN WORKER "You can't put your two weeks in because if you put your two weeks, they'll get rid of you before your two weeks come up for any reason. They'll tell you they don't have to have a reason to get rid of you just so that they can fill your position.
另一位从福耀跳槽到杜拉马克斯的工人德米特里亚·霍奇斯也讲述了这样一件事：一名她认为没有驾驶执照的中国籍叉车司机撞到了她，但那名司机并未受到任何追责。
So when I left there, I had to actually sneak out, do my orientation at DMAX. And then call them and tell them that I wasn't coming back and for them to release my 401k," Moore said.
这位曾是一名焊工的议员认为，这简直就是“针对劳动者的核弹”——同时也是帮助美国蓝领阶层的良机。
Demetria Hodges, another worker who fled Fuyao for Duramax, recounted the time a Chinese forklift driver, who she believed to be unlicensed, struck her with the machine and faced no accountability.
“当时现场有摄像机，他们明明看到了一切，却装作不认识那个开叉车的工人，”她在接受福克斯新闻数字版独家采访时说道。“当我试图提起诉讼并申请工伤赔偿时，他们又装作根本不认识那个人。”
WELDER TURNED LAWMAKER SEES A ‘NUCLEAR BOMB FOR WORK’ — AND A CHANCE TO HELP BLUE COLLAR AMERICANS "It was on camera, they have cameras in there, and they acted like they didn’t know who the forklift driver was," she told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "So when I tried to pursue a lawsuit and my workman’s comp, they pretended like they didn’t know who the person was."
这些美国工人称自己的工作环境极其恶劣，而中国工人的待遇则更加糟糕。
While the American workers described abysmal conditions for themselves, they said the Chinese workers were treated even worse.
高尔夫球车行业能给我们带来哪些关于中国对美国就业威胁的启示呢？
WHAT THE GOLF CART INDUSTRY CAN TEACH US ABOUT CHINA’S THREAT TO AMERICAN JOBS "They were treated horrible," Moore told the group.
“中国工人受到的待遇极其糟糕，”摩尔对众人说道。“他们不准拿我们任何东西，也不被允许与我们交流，更不许和我们混在一起。”
"They weren't allowed to take anything from us. They weren't really allowed to communicate with us. They weren't allowed to mix with us."
摩尔、霍奇斯等人表示，由于福耀玻璃可以支付更低的工资，中国工人几乎总是被选中获得晋升机会。他们还称，公司经常从其他地方调来新的中国工人。美国企业对中国的过度依赖已演变为国家安全隐患。
Moore, Hodges and others said the Chinese workers were almost always the ones chosen for promotions because Fuyao could pay them less. They also said the company was constantly busing in new workers from elsewhere. CORPORATE AMERICA'S CHINA ADDICTION HAS BECOME A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT "They used to rotate them out every couple months.
“公司每隔几个月就会轮换一次工人。他们会派车从纽约接来一批人，让他们在这里工作几个月后再换下一批，”霍奇斯说道。
Like they will go to New York and get a bus for or a van full of people and bring them down here. And they work for a certain amount of months and then they rotate and send them back," Hodges said.
当霍奇斯提到工厂部分区域起火后工人仍被迫继续上班时，卡纳询问这些工人是否为无证移民。
When Hodges explained that workers were still forced to come to work the day after part of the factory caught fire, Khanna asked her if the workers were undocumented.
“我觉得正是因为这个原因他们才默默接受——他们是没有合法身份的，”霍奇斯答道。
"I believe that's why they accepted it because they were undocumented," Hodges said.
另一位前福耀员工达雷尔·琼斯告诉卡纳，他认为这些工人需要工会的支持，此话一出立刻引发了在场众人的热烈讨论。
Darrell Jones, another former Fuyao employee, told Khanna he felt the workers needed a union backing them, a point which quickly drew heated commentary from the group.
“公司根本不允许工会进入，”摩尔插话道。“甚至连提‘工会’两个字都不行。”“否则就会丢掉工作，”霍奇斯补充道。
"They wouldn't let a union come in there," Moore chimed in. "You couldn't even speak of a union being in there." "Or you could lose your job," Hodges added.
琼斯接着解释道，福耀曾威胁员工，称如果他们组建工会，公司就会取消他们的健康保险。霍奇斯则补充说，公司还提出，如果员工在即将举行的工会化公投中投反对票，就能获得每小时2美元的一次性加薪。
Jones went on to explain that Fuyao threatened employees, telling them the company would take away their health insurance if they unionized. Hodges then added that the company offered employees a one-time pay bump of $2 an hour if they voted no on a planned unionization referendum.
“他们说，要是那里真成立了工会，他就会把工厂关掉，”琼斯回忆起一位主管对他说的话。
"They said if we ever get a union there, he was going to shut it down," Jones recalled a supervisor telling him.
琼斯还回忆起了导致2017年57岁的福耀工厂工人里基·帕特森不幸身亡的经过。
Jones also recalled the circumstances that led up to the tragic 2018 death of 57-year-old Fuyao factory worker Ricky Patterson.
“那个人被玻璃砸中的时候，我们当天还得照常工作，”琼斯叙述道。
"When that guy got smashed by that glass, we had to work that day," Jones recounted. "He was a little shaky because he had just lost his mom.
“他当时情绪有些不稳定，因为刚失去母亲。他当时正试图搬运玻璃。他切开了玻璃的一端，本该把叉车移到玻璃前方来支撑，但他没这么做。当他切开第一侧后，另一侧就松动了，”琼斯说道。“玻璃直接把他压住了，”他总结道。
He was trying load up to glass. He cut one end of it. And then he was supposed to put the forklift in front of it, but he didn't put the forklift in front of it. When he cut that first side, the other side was loose," Jones said.
美国职业安全与健康管理局以违反安全规定为由，对福耀处以7000美元的罚款，双方最终达成了非正式和解。
"Crushed him," he concluded. OSHA fined Fuyao $7,000 in an informal settlement for a safety violation that led to Patterson's death.
“有个曾在那里工作的人去世了，他以前经常跟我说，还跟我说‘你们应该预料到那家工厂会出现死亡事故’，”美国国际电气与电子工人联合会代顿分会主席萨姆·桑德斯对众人说道。“他说什么？”有人问道。
"There's a guy used to work there, he passed away, he used to tell me all the time, he said he told you guys that 'you ought to be able to expect deaths in that plant,'" Sam Sanders, the president of IUE-CWA's local Dayton chapter told the group. "He said what?" someone asked. "Expect deaths in that plant," Sanders reiterated.
“他说‘应该预料到那家工厂会出现死亡事故’，”桑德斯重复道。
Khanna told the group he thought America needed new standards for foreign businesses purchasing or building factories in the U.S., a point he reiterated during an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
卡纳对众人表示，他认为美国需要针对外国企业在美收购或建厂制定新的标准。在接受福克斯新闻数字版独家采访时，他也重申了这一观点。
"We can welcome foreign investment in the United States of America, we should if they want to open factories, but they have to play by our rules.
“我们欢迎外国企业在美国投资，如果他们想建厂，我们理应欢迎。但他们必须遵守我们的规则。他们的行事方式不能照搬国外的做法，而必须符合美国的标准，”卡纳对福克斯新闻数字版说道。
They have to do things, not like they do in foreign countries, but like they do in America," Khanna told Fox News Digital. "That means having safety standards. That means safety standards that are enforced.
“这意味着必须制定安全标准，而且这些标准必须得到切实执行。这意味着要保持劳资关系的中立性，因此不得开展任何反工会的宣传活动。这意味着要遵守有关性别与种族歧视的法律法规。这意味着要建立沟通机制，让工人能够发声；绝不能把工人视为可有可无的存在，”他继续说道。
That means labor neutrality, so you can't have anti-union campaigns. That means complying with anti-discrimination laws based on gender and race. That means having communication where workers have a voice, that you can treat workers is dispensable," he continued.
这位来自硅谷的国会议员接着解释称，他希望制定相关立法，以改革目前外国企业可以在缺乏有效监管的情况下收购美国工厂的现行机制。他还指出，美国政府有必要大力扶持本国制造业发展。
The Silicon Valley congressman went on to explain that he hoped to be able to craft legislation that would reform the current process that allows foreign companies to purchase U.S. factories without much oversight. He also argued that American manufacturing needs a boost from the U.S. government.
“美国需要设立一家产业发展银行，专门向俄亥俄州代顿这样的地区提供资金支持，用于兴建新工厂，帮助那些生产目前仍需从国外进口的产品的制造商。我们为何要完全依赖外国投资呢？”他问道。
"We need an industrial development bank in the United States that invests in places like Dayton, Ohio, to build new factories, to support manufacturers who are making things which we're currently importing. Why are we just relying on foreign investment?" he asked.
由于未能获准对福耀工厂内部进行监督检查，卡纳仍希望能从外部观察这家工厂。他在距离厂区仅几英尺远的地方驻足，还特意拍了张照片。
After not being granted an oversight look into the Fuyao factory itself, Khanna still wanted to get a look at the plant from outside, stopping to pose for a picture just a few feet off of company property.
“我们必须了解他们是如何制定标准的，如何遵守美国的劳动法。我们必须弄清楚外国投资究竟会产生何种影响，这样才能制定相应的立法来解决问题，”卡纳对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。
"We need to understand how they're setting standards. We need to understand how they are complying with American labor law. We need to understand what the impact of foreign investment is so that we can craft legislation to address the issue," Khanna told Fox News Digital.
“他们并未遵守相关规定，这让我感到失望。不过这绝非故意设下的陷阱。立法者需要掌握这些信息才能切实解决问题，”他补充道。
"I'm disappointed they aren't complying because it's not in any way a gotcha issue. Legislators need this information to be able to address the issue," he said.
“所有人都理应希望拥有既能保障国家安全又能符合美国标准的优质工作岗位，”卡纳总结道。
"Everyone should want good jobs where American national security is protected and American standards are protected," Khanna concluded.
