In the evening, more than 30 employees had gathered in the middle of the open space in the northern shack, most of them from the production team. The packaging team also recruited two representatives, and in the end only the employees from the transportation team were left.
"Will anyone come from them?"
"I don't know... Momola said to wait."
"Porters are the most numerous people in Baiguoyuan. If they don't come, it's basically hopeless, right?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and the scene seemed a little noisy for a while.
"Otherwise... let's forget about it." Mollier walked to Momola who was sitting cross-legged on the iron barrel and said with worry, "You have done so much for us, I am already very grateful. If we stop now, everyone will not be affected in any way and can continue to work in Baiguoyuan... "
"Then continue to be their slaves and let them control you?" Momola looked at him, "I did think that it would be enough to keep everyone's jobs, and the protest was for this purpose. But talk to that Easterner Afterwards, I realized that what I thought was too naive.”
"how come… "
"Resistance must be based on corresponding strength. We have nothing ourselves. The only things we can use as bargaining chips are these hands." She opened her palms, and there were bright cocoon marks on her knuckles. "Because of this , we must gather enough people to gain the strength to compete with the factory."
At this point, Momola patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you have to take this step. In that case, why not choose to take it earlier?"
"You think simply." Suddenly a different voice intervened, "Not everyone has this courage."
The discussion suddenly stopped.
Momola followed the sound and found that the speaker was Horn.
"You're finally here." She grinned.
"Have you been waiting for me?" The other party raised his eyebrows.
"Well, because I guess you will agree - those who dare to support their families by themselves are always courageous." Momola jumped off the iron bucket, clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, our people are here. , let’s discuss the specific arrangements for the strike now!”
"Everyone already knows the basic situation. A batch of ships loaded with drunken fruits will arrive at the harbor tomorrow. We can load and unload as usual and deliver the fruits to the factory. The strike will officially begin the next day to fight against the unfair treatment of Baiguoyuan! At present, There are three main demands: First, the supervisors and others admit their mistakes and withdraw all previous punishment decisions. Second, they need to improve their treatment and increase the monthly salary of employees, which must at least meet the standards of supervisors, and no more arrears are allowed. Finally, the supervisors should be abolished. Positions must be managed by employees themselves, and harmful punishment methods including whipping must no longer be abused!"
Momola said the words she had been holding back for a long time in one breath, and felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
Some of these ideas came from Ambassador Xia’s suggestions, and some were her own thinking.
For example, when it comes to increasing wages, she roughly estimated that even if the wages of more than 600 people in the factory were doubled at the same time, the shipment volume would only be a drop in the bucket compared to Pagoda. From a rational point of view, these conditions are not difficult to achieve, but once the strike exceeds three days, the fruit will begin to rot and deteriorate, and the losses will be far beyond what can be measured by a little wages.
Others were also excited after hearing this. If this can be done, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will change their destiny!
"It's better to count the number of people first." Horns said, "According to Massage Molla, we have to recruit more than 80% of the employees to paralyze Baiguoyuan. If everyone works together, it will be okay, but today I Someone reported to Gore that I had secret conversations with the production team, which proves that the supervisor has spies among the employees. So these 80 people must be relatively reliable."
"What?" This news made Catwoman blink in surprise, "Did he punish you?"
"It's just a little skin injury, it's not a problem." Horns did not go into details. "The number of people I can win over should be around two hundred. They have all suffered from being supervisors and are very disgusted with management. If it is to win over everyone, I am fighting for my rights and I believe they will be on my side.”
"I guess we can get five!"
"I have about thirty people here, right?"
"For the packaging team... almost a hundred."
Everyone started to count them one after another, and Huajiao recorded them all with a charcoal pen.
"Can you read?" Momola asked curiously.
"I learned from an old hired worker. When moving, I at least know how many boxes of goods I have moved." Horns shrugged.
"Old hired worker? Is there such a person in the moving team?"
"It has happened before." Horn's voice suddenly became a little sad, "According to his story, Baiguoyuan was still a small factory at that time, and it was not so harsh on its employees. It was not until the boss was changed that the situation began to take a turn for the worse. "
"Where is he now..." Catwoman hesitated, "Has he been fired?"
"Dead. His leg was broken by falling cargo while carrying it, but he was unable to treat it. The wound rotted and died." Horn kept recording on his hand, "Do you know what he said to me before closing his eyes?"
Momora shook her head.
"Look for an opportunity to leave here, and don't try to fight against the factory."
She raised her head in surprise, "But you're still here."
"Because there was no one like you in his story at that time." Horns wrote the last number, "A total of four hundred and twenty-one."
"It's still a little short of 80%..." someone murmured.
"This 80% is just a rough estimate. I don't think there may be any difference between a few dozen more people and a few dozen fewer people."
"But our estimate is only a rough estimate." Horn pointed out without hesitation, "Who can guarantee that these people will definitely participate in the strike by then? If the margin is taken into account, the number of people counted should be 90%. It’s safe. Once someone can’t bear the pressure and turns to the factory, we may be at a disadvantage instantly.”
"this… "
The atmosphere in the shack was tense for a moment.
No one can deny that the situation mentioned by Horns is extremely likely to occur.
"At times like this, don't consider personal wishes." Mrs. Karan, the representative of the packaging team, suddenly said. Since the packaging team requires more experience than physical strength, there will also be some old employees, such as this woman who is nearly thirty-five years old.
"What do you mean, madam..." Momola asked. She still values the opinions of older people.
"We can organize and blockade the shanty town directly." The other party said bluntly, "As long as the remaining more than a hundred people are blocked in the shanty town, doesn't it mean that everyone is on our side?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"Are you forced to keep those people?"
"Isn't this too... overbearing?"
"How can we achieve anything without being overbearing!?" Mrs. Karan suddenly raised her voice and said, "The guys we have to deal with are the most overbearing ones, and they won't talk to you! And we don't need to use any strong tactics. Just surround the shanty town. Those employees who don't agree with it on the surface or dare not come forward to protest are just short-sighted and timid. Once we can successfully negotiate and they taste the real sweetness, they will definitely come closer immediately. Let’s come this way. So I think that for the first action, we can use extraordinary measures!”
