Blackstone Code Chapter 1456: Be your own savior!
The workers of the whole factory who originally planned to solve it in one go voted, but because of someone's intervention, it was finally not able to vote immediately.
The people at City Hall offered to leave today, feeling as if they had no chance to get the job done today.
They have other work to do and don't have time to spend here.
Of course, they also told everyone to give them a period of time to discuss and discuss. If they can't come up with a decision after three days, then they will directly put the factory into the auction according to the previous decision.
People from the workers' union also took the initiative to leave.
The workers in the factory were noisy, and it was true that there was no way to discuss a result today.
Old John was about to leave, but was held back by a few well-connected co-workers. .
"Go have a drink, we have to do something!", said the worker.
After hesitating for a while, Old John agreed. In fact, it doesn't matter to him who gives more and who gives less. He is a worker. It doesn't matter.
But he agreed anyway, it's a human instinct.
When the future is uncertain, people will huddle in groups.
Originally they planned to go to the workers' club. The food and beer in the workers' club were very cheap. Although the taste was not very good, the cheapness was obviously more important to the people at the bottom than the taste.
Perhaps most of the people have this idea, the whole club is so packed that there are not many places for people to stand.
The group has switched to a cheap bar with a strip service, but don't expect the girls on stage to be pretty.
A group of people went straight into the bar, and the people at the bottom didn't need to exchange change, because they had change in their pockets.
They each bought a large ninety-nine beer and ordered some chopped roast meat.
It is said to be chopped roast meat, but it is actually cheap ground beef in the supermarket. This kind of beef is not shaped, most of which are the size of a thumb, but the price is very cheap.
Two plates of barbecue and a large beer per person, they found a corner to sit.
Before and after, left and right, there are a total of about ten people, they all work on the same assembly line, and the relationship is naturally better.
Organizing this party is the production team leader of their assembly line, a middle-aged male of forty-seven or eighteen years old.
He has a strong physique, but his muscles and thick arms can't hide his whitish sideburns.
Before he was fifty years old, his temples had already turned gray, and the heavy labor force and life pressure made him breathless. In fact, the workers on the assembly line with such heavy manual labor were all overdrafting own life in exchange for wealth.
Most of these workers can only live to the age of 60 or 70, and it is difficult to prolong their life expectancy.
He took a sip of the beer, the foam dyed his beard a pale yellow, and he licked the foam on his beard, lowering his voice a little.
"Before...you're right, it doesn't make sense that we take the same amount of money, they can take care of us, and we can only work in the dirtiest and most tiring workshop!"
This sentence resonated with everyone, and even Old John felt that there was no problem with this sentence.
The team leader continued, "First of all, we need to unify on this issue. Whoever wants more power must pay more than others!"
Everyone nodded, then he picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.
This kind of cheap bar doesn't provide any professional food, it's all very casual barbecue. The piece he picked up was slightly burnt, and it wasn't so easy to chew, but it had a very special burnt fragrance.
This is also the reason why two plates of roasted meat can handle their dozen or so big men, and they may not be able to swallow it so easily.
"In addition, I have an idea. If any of you have the conditions, I hope you can pay more, so that there may be a workshop supervisor among us."
"It's not good for us if the current supervisor can't come up with so much money, and other teams in our workshop get a position!"
In fact, in the workshop of the same factory, not all workers are of one mind.
There is also competition between them.
Capitalists have rich experience and methods in squeezing workers' extreme labor force, and competition exists between each production group in the production workshop.
Whoever is better will get more bonus.
And whoever lags behind gets less prize money.
These bonuses are not subsidized by the capitalists themselves, but exploited from the workers.
For example, the local "Minimum Hourly Wage Law" stipulates that the minimum hourly wage is 340 yuan, and the factory will calculate the salary for you at 340 yuan, and then take out part of it as a bonus.
In fact, these bonuses should belong to the workers, but it has been changed in a way to stimulate the subjective initiative of workers to a greater extent!
Capitalists will not let any penny meaningless flow into the pockets of the working class, even if it is a penny, it has to play its value in production!
And if it's just a simple fight for productivity, it's just a healthy competition that doesn't seem to be a problem.
But it can't be so fair. For example, Old John's production team has two "material grabbers". They are also workers, but at the same time, they are also responsible for grabbing production materials from the material warehouse!
The easiest way to outpace others in production, or not fall behind, is to stock up on production materials.
This can avoid the problem of interval when the production materials are used up and reapply, so that the production team can always maintain an efficient production rhythm.
But getting more raw materials for production is not an easy task.
For example, sometimes the factory gets an order to produce 100 products. There are five production teams in the production workshop. Logically, each production team only needs to produce 20 products.
However, some production teams produce faster, and some production teams produce slower.
The slower-producing groups want to get the production materials for twenty units at a time, so even if they're slow, at least they're not at the bottom.
As for the fast-producing ones, they may want to get the production materials for thirty products at a time, so that they can get more bonuses.
So there is a contradiction here, who should the raw materials be given to?
Everyone is applying for more raw materials, but it's not the warehouse that decides who can really get it!
Behold, the workers who transport the materials are stronger and faster!
This is also what the capitalists are happy to see!
The team leader's words made it clear that if people from other teams paid a little more and became workshop supervisors, they might use their status to interfere with these rules.
This possibility is not impossible, but very likely!
Everyone may work on the same assembly line for several years or even a lifetime. Sometimes the relationship between workers is more intimate than the relationship between them and their families!
Then it's very possible to be slightly inclined towards the production team that has a good relationship with you!
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Obviously, getting this position requires paying a little more.
Now it's 10,000 yuan for everyone to share equally. If you want to get a supervisor or something, I'm afraid you have to pay 100,000 yuan or more?
Some people speak very straight, and they can't hide their problems, and they directly say that they have no money.
Old John also expressed the fact that he also can't get more money, even if it is 10,000 yuan now, for him, he doesn't know where to get it.
The team leader didn't interrupt everyone's speech. He didn't start talking until they were all talking.
"I didn't ask any of you to give so much money, we can all work together, just like our work!"
"Everyone only needs the extra seven or eight thousand yuan, and we can make up an extra one hundred thousand yuan, and then whoever wants to be the one will make up the rest."
"I don't think it's a problem if someone is willing to pay more. After all, according to the people from the city hall and the union, we bought our own factory."
"By the end of the year, we'll be able to split the money."
"How much money did we make for the boss last year?", he suddenly asked a question.
Someone then said, "I heard that the factory made more than 500,000 yuan last year!"
To earn more than 500,000 yuan a year is not a small sum. Then the team leader gave everyone a simple calculation. Those who pay more can actually share some more money from this profit.
This sentence made the workers feel a little excited.
They have worked in the factory for so long, and they know very well that the factory is actually very profitable. Every year, they can ensure that after all wages are paid on time, they can still make a lot of money.
Even in the worst years, even if the factory didn't make much profit, at least everyone's wages were paid!
Old John didn't know what to do, but suddenly he felt a little bit moved.
"We still have to ask people from the workers' union ~IndoMTL.com~ to tell us a good deal about this..."
Old John, who came home at night, didn't even watch his favorite TV. He went back to his room and lay on the bed.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, his wife took the initiative to come to him and stroked his dry hair, "What's wrong?"
Old John hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head, but didn't say anything.
The next day, everyone came to the factory again. This time, the workers' union arranged for lawyers and accountants to come. At the request of many people in the factory, they wanted to give everyone a "science popularization".
Simply put, it tells you how much you spend, how many shares you can get, and how much you can get at the end of the year.
Everyone is very serious, because it is related to everyone's vital interests, and many people also bring notebooks and pencils.
This may be the first time in decades since they graduated from high school that they have volunteered to buy these stationery to record something.
Old John did the same...
