新政府重拳打击犯罪，囚犯将大幅增加，但监狱里住不下了……_我的网站

一 |     Sophie 编译 惩戒工会警告新政府要紧急解决日益严重的人员“危机”，目前监狱有数百个职位空缺，而且更严格的司法手段下估计监狱囚犯人数将大幅增加。    DETROIT -- The United Auto Workers union significantly escalated its walkout against Detroit's Three automakers, shutting down Ford's largest factory and threatening Jeep maker Stellantis.In a surprise move Wednesday night, 8,700 members left their jobs at Ford’s Kentucky truck plant in Louisville.And Thursday morning, union President Shawn Fain hinted at further action against Stellantis. “Here's to hoping talks at Stellantis today are more productive than Ford yesterday,” Fain wrote on X, formerly Twitter, without saying what might happen.Ford's truck plant makes heavy-duty F-Series pickup trucks and large Ford and Lincoln SUVs, hitting the company's most lucrative products. The vehicles made at the plant generate $25 billion per year in revenue, the company said in a statement.Fain said in a statement that the union has waited long enough “but Ford hasn’t gotten the message” to bargain for a fair contract. “If they can’t understand that after four weeks, the 8,700 workers shutting down this extremely profitable plant will help them understand it,” Fain said.The strike came nearly four weeks after the union began its walkouts against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis on Sept. 15, with one assembly plant from each company. The company, however, called the strike expansion “grossly irresponsible” and said it has made strong wage and benefit offers to the union. It said the move puts about a dozen other Ford facilities at risk, as well as parts supply plants that together employ over 100,000 people.A Ford executive said the union called a meeting at the company's Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters Wednesday afternoon where Fain asked if the company had another offer. High-ranking Ford executives responded that they are working on possibly bringing electric vehicle battery plants into the UAW national contract, essentially making them unionized. But they didn't have a significantly different economic offer, the executive said. Fain was told the company put a strong offer on the table, but there wasn't a lot of room to increase it and keep it affordable for the business, the executive said.Fain responded by saying, if that's the company's best offer, “You just lost Kentucky Truck Plant,” said the executive. The meeting only lasted about 15 minutes, he said. In a video, Fain said the union moved because Ford didn't change its offer. “We've been very patient working with the company on this,” he said. “They have not met expectations, they're not even coming to the table on it.”The escalation against Ford shows that Fain is trying to increase pressure on the company, said Marick Masters, a business professor at Wayne State University who follows labor issues.But Ford and the other automakers have made concessions and raised wage offers, he said. The companies, he said, “may have reached their resistance points to varying degrees.” Executives, he said, have bottom line positions they can’t cross in terms of staying competitive with other automakers.Fain, Masters said, likely is testing how far he needs to push Ford before going to “full throttle,” by taking all 57,000 Ford members out on strike.The union’s move doesn’t leave him optimistic for a quick end to the strikes, Masters said. “I think the issues that remain on the table are quite thorny,” he said, pointing to union demands that all workers get defined benefit pensions and health insurance when they retire.The UAW expanded its strikes on Sept. 22, adding 38 GM and Stellantis parts warehouses. Assembly plants from Ford and GM were added the week after that. The Kentucky strike brings to 33,700 the number of workers on strike against the three automakers.Thus far, the union has decided to target a small number of plants from each company rather than have all 146,000 UAW members at the automakers go on strike at the same time.Last week, the union reported progress in the talks and decided not to add any more plants. This came after GM agreed to bring joint-venture electric vehicle battery factories into the national master contract, almost assuring that the plants will be unionized.Battery plants are a major point of contention in the negotiations. The UAW wants those plants to be unionized to assure jobs and top wages for workers who will be displaced by the industry’s ongoing transition to electric vehicles.Since the start of the strike, the three Detroit automakers have laid off roughly 4,800 workers at factories that are not among the plants that have been hit by the UAW strikes.The companies say the strikes have forced them to impose those layoffs. They note that the job cuts have occurred mainly at factories that make parts for assembly plants that were closed by strikes.The UAW rejects that argument. It contends that the layoffs are unjustified and were imposed as part of the companies' pressure campaign to persuade UAW members to accept less in negotiations with automakers. The factories affected by layoffs are in six states: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and New York. Sam Fiorani, an analyst with AutoForecast Solutions, a consulting firm, said he thinks the layoffs reflect a simple reality: The automakers are losing money because of the strikes. By slowing or idling factories that are running below their capacities because of strike-related parts shortages, Fiorani said, the companies can mitigate further losses.“It doesn’t make sense to keep running at 30% or 40% of capacity when it normally runs at 100%,” he said. Striking workers are receiving $500 a week from the union’s strike pay fund. In some states, laid-off workers could qualify for state unemployment aid, which, depending on a variety of circumstances, could be less or more than $500 a week. Fiorani said that as the strikes widen, more workers will likely be laid off at non-striking plants. Separate companies that manufacture parts for the automakers are likely to have laid off workers but might not report them publicly, said Patrick Anderson, CEO of the Anderson Economic Group in Lansing, Michigan. A survey of parts supply companies by a trade association called MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers found that 30% of members have laid off workers and that more than 60% expect to start layoffs in mid-October.。         新西兰监狱的囚犯开始再次增多，在截至9月的一年中，囚犯增加了10%以上——近1000名——远远超过了司法部的预测，而在前工党政府期间，囚犯大幅减少了近30%。         Advertise with us          在工党执政的最后一年里，这种快速增长引起了工作人员的严重担忧，双层铺位的使用再次开始增加——36%的囚犯现在是双层铺位，高于2021年10月的28%。         监狱系统目前缺少近370名全职工作人员，随着囚犯的进一步增加，可能还需要数百名员工。截至2021年10月份，监狱雇佣的员工刚刚超过3600人。         国家党、行动党和优先党这三个联合政党都在竞选中提出了他们认为“更严厉”的打击犯罪的方法，包括量刑方面，他们估计这将导致监狱囚犯增加。         国家党将在未来4年拨款7.18亿纽币用于额外的1400名囚犯，而行动党计划拨款约11亿纽币用于满足监禁2094名囚犯的需求，另外10亿纽币用于增加500张床位。         行动党和国家党的联合协议上只是简单地说，他们同意确保“根据需要提供足够的监狱容量”。         据惩教部称，截至10月底，全国18个监狱共有9045名囚犯（下图）。         监狱系统共有1.1万多张床位。

二 | 但由于人员短缺，目前只有9256张床位可用。         国家专员Leigh Marsh告诉英文《先驱报》，为了应对目前的增长，他们正在开放额外的容量，调整工作人员的值班，并重新安排囚犯。

三 |          他们还可以暂停一些活动或减少囚犯放风的时间。         Marsh说，自去年10月以来，他们的招聘活动已经雇佣了826人担任惩教官员，还有更多的人“正在招聘中”。

四 |          （图：新西兰的囚犯人数再次上升）          他们还在Waikeria监狱建造了一个新的设施，另外有500张床位，96张床位留给有心理健康和成瘾需求的人。

五 |                    惩教协会主席的担忧          惩教协会主席Floyd du Plessis表示，虽然招聘人数有所增加，但这只是跟上了人员流失的步伐。         工会刚刚就工资问题进行了谈判，并达成了解决方案，避免了罢工行动。         但du Plessis表示，由于目前的“人员危机”，许多员工都很挣扎，他们呼吁进一步的支持，包括为增加的工作时间和压力提供额外的补贴。

六 |          “这是一个巨大的问题。我们的工作人员数量创历史新低，而（监狱）人数每天都在迅速增加。”          “额外的工作量每周都在增加，而员工为实现目标所做的额外工作却得不到认可或奖励。”          （图：羁押罪犯人数逐渐赶上已判刑人数）          他表示，员工正在进行每12小时的轮班，并每天要管理多个单位。         “这是高强度、高压力的工作，而且这个环境的运行和管理并不轻松。”          他说需要有更好的培训和更好的支持，还需要发真正能反映他们工作情况的薪水。         惩戒部门之前被列在了移民绿名单上，但政府还要使新西兰比澳大利亚等国更具吸引力，澳大利亚的惩戒官员可以获得比新西兰同行高40%的工资。         （图：羁押的毛利男子人数是非毛利裔的9倍）          Du Plessis表示，他们对新政府的做法感到乐观。         “对负面行为或犯罪行为进行更严厉惩罚的想法，我们是同意的。”          “但任何的囚犯人数增加，对我们来说都是一个巨大的问题[鉴于人员问题]。”          （图：监禁人数下降，但羁押人数上升）                    惩戒部长回应          惩教部长Mark Mitchell说，他很清楚人员配备问题，解决这些问题，以及安全和福利问题，将是他的工作重点。         “惩教部在招聘广告上投入了大量资金，还将继续这样做。”          “我们必须让它成为对重视职业发展道路的人有吸引力的工作。         “我们要做的第一件事就是让它成为一份安全的工作。

七 | 这将吸引人们加入这项服务。”          Mitchell表示，至于谈到的担忧，他还没有收到关于额外津贴的简报，但他会对此进行调查。         关于他们的最终计划，Mitchell说，他无法确切地说会增加多少囚犯，也无法确切地说会花多少钱，只能说会增加。         “但严重的暴力犯罪必须要承担后果。

八 | ”          Mitchell表示，新政府还致力于解决日益增长的罪犯还押候审问题，并将改善获得改造的机会。         绿党的惩戒事务女发言人Tamatha Paul说，解决办法不是“把我们的监狱挤得像沙丁鱼罐头一样”。         “我们的监狱人满为患，里面一半的人甚至没有被判刑。这样的环境对改造不利，也不能提供社区安全所需的支持。”          相关阅读：          新西兰监狱人口半年内暴增，一线警卫紧缺加剧危机          政府宣布加强青少年司法系统 新建两处设施          奥克兰枪手的犯罪历史：三年刑期是如何减至几个月居家监禁的？          帮派成员入狱人数处于七年来的最低水平，但占囚犯比例在上升          北岛监狱暴乱：国家党议员亲赴现场遭拒，无奈喊出“部长人呢？”          注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。         chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有          (责编：Sophie)          相关内容                突发！美国和以色列驻新西兰大使馆外发现可疑包裹，附近学校被封锁           毛利党发起全国示威，抗议政府的变革，明天一早奥克兰三条高速或受阻           疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增6656例，圣诞或迎来一波感染高峰           上周末又有30多个医疗和礼拜场所收到威胁邮件，警方正在全力追查           新西兰第5波疫情下，接种加强针人数激增           节前针对邮政工作人员的暴力行为增多，邮局提醒人们尽快寄出礼物           新一轮降雨上线，本周阴雨天气什么时候结束？           奥克兰夜间又发生盗窃案，四名青少年被捕。
