As the whole story of the riots was thoroughly unearthed and laid out in front of readers throughout the empire, a very unfavorable situation for the workers' unions was gradually emerging. Many celebrities and well-known social activists came forward and accused the workers' union of using innocent workers to achieve their own goals, which ultimately led to disaster. For a time, the tide of public opinion was blown back, and countless accusations were directed at the attitude of the workers' union. , and practices.
No one likes a general strike, which means that the city becomes unsafe, which means that many business activities must be shut down for some people, which means that a series of problems may occur. People may not have had any good solutions before, but what happened in Otis City this time gave everyone an excuse to pour out their firepower.
The injured worker did not follow the regulations jointly formulated by the workers' union and the Chamber of Commerce. He used a safety belt to firmly connect his body to the main body of the building when working at heights. This also caused serious injuries to the worker. main reason. According to the rules established by both parties, the employer does not need to bear any responsibility. However, the workers' union not only requires the employer to compensate for medical expenses and other expenses, but also requires the city hall to provide certain compensation.
This is a bit incomprehensible, and what is even more unacceptable is that the doctor in charge of the injured worker in Namirindes stood up and accepted an interview with the media. He told all reporters that the man named Buqiao told him that the injured workers should use more expensive but less effective drugs and materials as much as possible, and that they should modify the treatment plan. In short, they must Be sure to spend more.
The doctor's coming forward immediately put the workers' union into a deeper dilemma. Even if they wanted to defend themselves, no one would believe them. Even the working class itself has begun to feel disgusted with the actions of the workers' union. Many people have announced in a high-profile manner that they are leaving the workers' union and no longer recognize themselves as members of the workers' union.
Then more and more businessmen and workers appeared in front of the public, and they revealed the fact that the workers' union was extorting them and even persecuting them.
Someone is pushing for this, and it's someone at a high level, otherwise the workers' unions, given their size and how long they've been around, wouldn't be crushed by such a defeat. They had enough foundation behind them to survive this disaster, but it's a pity that someone intervened.
The person who intervened was none other than Mags.
The big problem that workers unions have always had is that they want to highlight their status too much, constantly "cause" conflicts and contradictions with managers and capitalists, and then use the resources at their disposal to defeat these opponents, thereby obtaining extremely high social status and reputation.
Many people, including workers who joined the workers' union, may not realize the reason why the workers' union did this, but Maggs saw it. Not only him, but many senior leaders of the new party also discovered this problem.
Workers' unions have begun to interfere in local governance and seek greater interests in a way that people cannot see. For example, there was a strike in a certain place, and the city hall planned to demolish a chemical plant with serious pollution. Chemical plant owners were ordered to move further away. But this has obviously touched the fundamental interests of chemical plant owners. Relocation requires additional expenses, and longer distances mean more transportation and storage costs.
So the Chemical City stopped working, and the workers began to demonstrate under the organization of the workers' union. In the end, they forced the city hall to agree to the chemical plant's introduction of sewage discharge and environmental protection equipment to reduce the pollution caused by the discharged sewage to the city, and no longer required them to move out of the city.
Whether there is a "power-for-money transaction" behind this matter is worth pondering, but more people have no desire to ponder it, especially those workers who have been manipulated. They only knew that the factory where they worked was shut down due to the city hall, and they also lost their job opportunities. Under the tragic exaggeration of the factory owner, they were about to lose their jobs, so the workers' union intervened in the matter. The union went on a general strike to ensure workers' right to work.
So when Magers discovered that the fire of this matter was burning at the workers' union headquarters, he immediately launched a public opinion offensive.
He does not intend to let the workers' union disappear completely, but hopes that this organization can be more in line with the current political environment of the empire. As a workers' union, there is no need to have such big ambitions. Isn't it enough to just do its own job well
Therefore, under the pressure from the top management and the guidance of public opinion, the workers' union headquarters finally came to the front. They expressed their willingness to accept social supervision. But this was of no use. Magers immediately stood up and demanded that the top members of the union implement an election system. It would no longer be a company-like employment system as before. Moreover, the president must also participate in the election and vote. Only by voting can the union president be elected. The final winner can serve as president.
Four years at a time, no re-election!
This knife struck directly at the fate of the workers' union. In the face of turbulent public opinion and overwhelming public opinion, the president of the workers' union, who had served for thirteen years, had to announce his resignation and requested official supervision from the empire to conduct restructuring elections.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Dulin. The Guart compatriots he found from various places have started working happily. According to the current salary standards, they can get almost forty yuan a month. , which is much higher than their previous income, and they don’t have to endure too much hardship, and they work with dignity.
After solving the labor problem, Du Lin realized another problem. The development of the hometown association was still too slow. If the hometown association was developed into an organization similar to a workers' union and all the Guarts were recruited, would it affect promotion? Is the nation's position in society more helpful? He thought about it for a long time and felt that it was not appropriate to do so, or that it was not suitable for the current social environment.
Self-isolation is always a behavior that goes against the mainstream. If more people of other races join the hometown association or another organization, it will cause more conflicts. If they are not allowed to join, then this will be a wall that isolates the Guart people from the entire society. It will not only be ineffective but will cause negative effects.
The workers' union in Otis City was severely suppressed, which also made the Chamber of Commerce branch a lot more honest. Heidler once again saw Dulin's extremely ruthless methods, and hunkered down in his temporary residence every day. He took it for granted that all this was Dulin's conspiracy. No matter how high-sounding his words were, they were all lies. As a businessman who inherited the wealth gained from his father's treason, he knew very well that anything that could change the social form and historical process would be controlled by a pair of invisible black hands.
So he chose not to appear in front of Du Lin and not give Du Lin a chance to have an attack.
He can take action against the workers' union, but can't he take action against the chamber of commerce branch
He didn't think Du Lin would have any thoughts about him just because he was a "fellow countryman". That was a damned thought!
Heidler also had a speculation that he didn't know whether it was right or wrong. He felt that this incident was so unexpected and strange. While Dulin was attacking the workers' union, would he also use this incident to clean up the city center? The area has become a commercial area, but it is not in the plans of some landowners.
With the development of the city of Otis, land prices have begun to rise rapidly, and the land prices near the city center have been rising even more, and they are even close to catching up with the land prices in Namirindes. Under such circumstances, if developers want to develop the city center, surrounding landowners will be a hurdle they cannot get around. In the past, Du Lin presided over the demolition. Now, because Otis City is developing faster and faster, capitalists have actively intervened in the matter. The new city hall will be built soon, and naturally the surrounding land will also need to be developed.
But the long negotiation cycle is too cumbersome, and it may not be possible to fully reach an agreement for several months. If we go through such a catastrophe...
Heidler shuddered. He felt that it was more suitable for him to concentrate on reading. Thinking too much would be troublesome.
In the next period of time, Dulin was still doing political shows. He first went to Namirindes to express condolences to the injured worker who had just woken up, and donated two hundred yuan to the worker in a humanitarian spirit. At the same time, the worker The employer at the construction site where he was working also took the initiative and said similar words to Du Lin, donating 500 yuan, and said that after he recovered from his injury, he could work for the employer, looking after the gate.
Witnessed by reporters and spotlights, the injured worker cried bitterly and accepted the donations from the Otis City Hall and the employer, which perfectly solved the last problem.
"I'm going to Ilian in two days. If you have anything important, you can tell Dove. She knows the phone number there." After signing, Dulin handed the document to Natalie and said by the way. A sound.
He will definitely attend the completion ceremony of the amusement park. This is the first completed project in District 8. He must be present at the scene due to circumstances and reasons. At the same time, he also planned to go back for a tour, treat Colonel Thomas to a meal, and give something to the little old man at the base. Thanks to their help this time, things were able to settle so quickly. It’s time to repay the favor.
Such exchanges in human society are precisely the most important thing. Friendship is as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of actual interests. No one is born to help you, and all efforts are for better returns.
Natalie's eyes flashed. She looked at the sky outside the window, then walked to the door and closed it from the inside...
