د اتحادیې کارګرانو قضیه په کې Bitcoin د کانونو د
Recently in the news, a Pennsylvania Bill, the “Cryptocurrency Energy Conservation Act”, was stripped of language that would have created a 2 year moratorium on Bitcoin mining. The author of the bill, Rep. Greg Vitalli, cited staunch resistance to the moratorium stating “the strong opposition to sweeping changes to the state’s environmental laws is being pushed by trade labor unions.” Aside from the misguided and outdated attack on Bitcoin’s energy use, this begets the discussion; is there value to Bitcoin Miners employing union labor at U.S. mining facilities?
I can hear Max Kaiser now. “Bitcoin doesn’t need corrupt unions!” And he’s right, Bitcoin does not need unions. Quite the opposite, unions and workers definitely need Bitcoin, (hence why I started the Proof of Workforce nonprofit). But the question isn’t whether Bitcoin needs unions, it’s whether the American Bitcoin Mining Industry could benefit from union workers.
د اتحادیو یوه کتنه
په متحده ایالاتو کې د 14.3 ملیون څخه ډیر د اتحادیې کارګران شتون لري. یوې تازه څیړنې ښودلې چې په ټول هیواد کې
unions have 29.1 billion in assets on hand. Unions participate in local, state, and federal elections and have secured major victories in recent contract negotiations. Their mission is simple: wages, benefits and working conditions.
هلته دي ځینې Bitcoiners who are vehemently anti-union. Simultaneously, a foundational tenement found amongst them is that the fiat system is rigged against everyday, working people. These beliefs are somewhat at odds with each other. Why? The mission of a union is to protect the wage laborer from the inherent incentive model of an employer which is profits. The most prevalent example of this today is unions fighting for workers to achieve pay raises commensurate with true inflation. However, as a Bitcoiner, I understand the complexity of the issue, and the challenge many Bitcoiners have to support unions, who often take political positions in a polarized political arena.
As unions have grown, they have become bigger, wealthier, and more politically savvy. The sandbox in which they play is on behalf of the worker, but sometimes the lines can become blurred. It's like the movie Donnie Brasco. The main character went undercover into the mafia to fight crime, but towards the end of the film, as he is in too deep, his wife tells him “Ya know, you are becoming just like them,” to which he responds, “I ain’t becoming like one of them, I AM THEM.”
Sometimes larger unions and union leaders can stray, forgetting which team they are on, but for the most part they remain true to the rank and file that form the core of their membership. Many larger unions consist of smaller, autonomous and self-sovereign unions of workers. My point is this. Don’t loop all unions in with some of the bad apples that have popped up throughout union history. Unions share more values in common with Bitcoiners than either camp realizes.
د کارګرانو اتحادیې په کارولو سره د کان کیندونکو پروړاندې دلیلونه
1. د کمو حاشیو په منځ کې د لګښتونو زیاتوالی
کان کیندونکي باید هوښیار وي، تل لګښتونه کموي او عملیاتي لیوالتیا لري، د بازارونو د ژوندي پاتې کیدو لپاره، نیمګړتیا، د انرژی په شتون کې بدلونونه او نور. یقینا، د اعتصاب کونکو اتحادیو سره معامله کول او د خبرو اترو پیل کول یو بل سر درد دی چې ډیری کان کیندونکي هیڅ شی نه غواړي.
2. کان کیندونکی لومړنی کارګر دی
Along with unions, come improved working conditions, hours and benefits. In Bitcoin mining, the hardest worker on site is the mining machine. Human labor is needed to facilitate mining, but at times, all humans could leave the site, and the miners would continue to mine. The point is, the human labor in mining supports the operation. In that sense, I could see Miners scratching their heads wondering, is a union fighting for improved working conditions and benefits truly necessary.
3. د اتحادیې سیاست
Many smaller unions make up larger unions, and those larger unions, as mentioned earlier, can get involved in politics. Bitcoin is apolitical, a network and protocol available to all, equally. Bitcoin Miners, like the Bitcoin they mine, likely don’t want to get roped into politics. They want to mine their Bitcoin in peace. But as we know, and saw in the recent Pennsylvania bill, politics sometimes can find you, even when you don’t want to be found.
د کان کیندونکو لپاره یو دلیل چې د اتحادیې کارګر کاروي
1. اتحادیې د اتحادیې دندې ساتي: په سوداګرۍ کې پاتې کیدل
Unions protect union jobs. If union jobs are at Bitcoin Mining sites, then unions protect Bitcoin Mining. At the end of the day, if a state passes legislation that is detrimental to Bitcoin mining, those Miners in that State can find their entire business at risk. In this scenario, the headaches associated with Unions i.e. better pay and benefits etc. seem preferable over perhaps going out of business
2. د حکومت د مدافعې بودیجې کمولو یا بشپړولو احتمال.
لکه څنګه چې موږ پدې وروستیو کې په پنسلوانیا کې لیدلي، منظم کار کولی شي خورا اغیزمن وي کله چې د مدافعې خبره راځي. زه کولی شم د منځنۍ کچې کان کیندونکو څخه یوه ستراتیژي تصور کړم، د اتحادیې کارګرانو ته د کار کولو غوره کول، او د دوی د دولتي چارو بودیجه / عملیاتي بودیجه خورا کمه کول. او، په بدل کې، په بالقوه توګه د حکومت مدافع وکیل سره غوره پایلې لري؛ حتی کله چې په ورته دولت کې د نورو کان کیندونکو په پرتله د لوی دولتي چارو بودیجې سره.
3. د ایتلاف ودانۍ
Unions often work together strategically with other unions. This has led to a lot of success amongst organized labor. In a scenario where Bitcoin miners employed union labor, this could open the door to coalition building across broader industries, ranging from energy, transportation, medical etc. In coalition building, one never knows what kind of unexpected opportunities may arise.
As to the pros and cons of a Bitcoin Mining Company employing unionized labor, it likely varies miner to miner. What is certain, as so eloquently pointed out by my brothers at Blue Collar Bitcoin on a recent thread, “Demand for Labor is High, Supply for Labor is Low.” As the world barrels towards the next wave of commercialized machinery, i.e. Ai and Bots, there will be a window where unions continue to gain tremendous strength and influence in society. For the Bitcoin Miner, this may be a force warranting a strategic alignment.
