After the shower Susan was .1 diffe

After the shower Susan was .1 different person. She was
quiet and didn't laugh very often, One evening, a few
months after the shower, Karen met Susan in a bar for a
drink after work.
'You know, Karen, we realty must leave the factory. It's
very dangerous. How many times do we hear the alarm
now? More and more often. And every time we hear it,
we know that someone is in danger.'
'How does it happen? I don't understand it,' said
Karen.
'It's because the factory is working twenty-four hours
a day. The safety people can't do their job well. They have
to check everything carefully every day, but when can they
do it? When we finish, there are the people who come in
to work at night. The managers don't care about the
danger, They only care about the money. And you know,
Karen, I'm just the same. 1 also have to think only of
money, t have three children and my husband is dead, I
need the money from the factory. It's more than 1 can get
from any other job in Oklahoma. Three children are
expensive, very expensive . . .'
'Of course,' answered Karen. 'I understand. Drew and
I have talked about this. He's thinking about leaving, too.'
It's OK for a young man, strong like Drew. He can get
many other jobs, You could leave too, Karen. Why don't
you?'
'Because I've decided to change things here. I like the
job and I like the people who work here. The money is
good. We just need to improve safety - that's all. Surely
that's not difficult? We have to talk to the managers and
tell them it's important. Do you know Bob in Laboratory
16? Well, don't laugh, but he's asked me to be on the
Union Committee, and I'm going to try it,'
'But, Karen . , . you can't. You're a woman, There are
no women on the Committee. The men won't vote for
you,' said Susan.
'Perhaps not,' replied Karen. 'But what about you? Will
you vote for me? Do you know how many women work
for this factory? Hundreds. And why won't the men vote
for me? Perhaps I'm the first woman who has asked for
their vote.'
Susan smiled. 'Well . . .'
But she couldn't find a good answer to Karen's
question.
A week later, when the workers had to vote for the new
Committee, most of the women voted for Karen. And a
lot of the men voted for her, too. They saw that she really wanted to change things at the factory, and everyone
agreed with her that safety was very important. So Karen
was now an official on the factory's Union Committee. A month or two later the alarm sounded again. This time
Karen was in front of the scanner. She went quietly with
the men in white coats. But after her shower she asked
them a lot of questions about safety in the factory. They
didn't answer any questions. They just got angry.
They knew she was on the Union Committee and they
were afraid of her. All the managers knew that Karen was
on the Committee because she always had a notebook in
her hand. In her notebook she wrote down all the scanner
alarms, every shower and every other danger in the
factory. She asked a lot of people a lot of questions and
always wrote the answers in her notebook. The notebook
was getting full.
In September 1974 the Union Committee had a meeting.
Everybody could see that safety at the factory was getting
worse. The Committee decided to write to the Union
leaders in Washington and ask for help. Two days later
there was a phone call from Washington. The leaders
wanted to see the Union Committee immediately in
Washington.
For Karen this journey to Washington was a big adventure. She wanted to see The White House and all the
other famous places in the first city of the USA, but she
had very little free time. She spent nearly all the time at
a long meeting.
At first the leaders just listened to what Karen and the
others said about the factory. Their faces got more and
more unhappy. Karen explained what was happening.
'The managers take photographs of the fuel rods to
check that they are safe. But I know that they are secretly
changing the negatives of the photographs. And why are
they doing that? Because the photographs show that the
rods are not safe.'
Suddenly one of the leaders said to Karen,
'Do you understand what you're saying, Miss Silkwood?
The lives of many people could be in danger if you're
right. Uranium is very, very dangerous.'
'I'm just telling you what the people in the photographic
laboratory have told me,' Karen said.
'If this is true, the government will close your factory.
Do you understand what that means? A lot of people will
lose their jobs. The story will be on the front page of every
newspaper.'
Karen looked unhappy. 'Will it? We only want the
managers to change a few things and to be more careful
about safety.'
I think it's already too late for that.'

И почему мужчины не будут голосовать для меня? Может быть, я первая женщина, которая просила их голоса. " Сьюзен улыбнулся. ' Хорошо...' Но она не могла найти хороший ответ на Карен вопрос.
