We have for the most part a great team of all American Good Old Boys working here at the plant and are proud of our blue collar roots. Problem is, a few of you need to know when to keep your mouths shut. I know we have that whole chilling problem with the NRC going on, but lets put the meat on the table. Our jobs are at stake here, and for the town of Buchanan, cheap property taxes are at stake if we lose the re-license of Indian Point. We got a good deal going, and that means we have to tighten up our belts, and KEEP QUIET about some of the inconveniences and problems we know about as insiders.
Take the latest tritium leak for example. OK, so it is a bit bigger than we are letting on, and it's not like its the only one we know about. You need to keep what you know close to the vest. What if some news reporter, or God Forbid, a blogger hears you speaking out of turn and blows the whistle on us? With Hall and Hinchey screaming for an ISA, we do not want to add any spent fuel to their fire do we?
To deal with these loose lips that seem to be talking outside of the shop, think we need a Sluggo Silence Enforcement Team. It does not reflect well on us when a member of upper management has to go over to a group of plant workers from the local union shop, and tell them to stop fraternizing with the enemy. A few of us should have pulled out a good old can of Whoop Ass before it came to that.
Think about it guys. Do you really want to trade in your job, working in a nice warm, safe, vital and secure (kind of,sort of, not really)nuclear reactor for a job say, installing wind mills for clean energy? Do you really want to find yourselves out in the elements putting up solar panels on peoples roofs? No more free protective suits that make great costumes on Halloween. No more meeting Santa by the spent fuel pool for the children, not to mention our annual inside the plant Easter Egg Hunt.
When you put it into perspective, to much is at stake here, which is why I am launching the EST (Entergy Sluggo Team), and I hope many of you will volunteer by signing up in the break room. We'll have a sheet on the bulletin board all of next week.
