Marvel’s Princess Chapter 45: Court opening
There are many procedures that need to be prepared for joint prosecution.
Bella took lawyer Jerry Hogarth to meet with Lao Qiao and others separately to negotiate their demands.
Their request is very simple. In the future, the pensions of the elderly will be paid in full and in a timely manner. If the acquirer is not willing to use this payment model, then a one-time payment can be made based on the physical condition of the elderly.
As for the relocation of the steel factory to Vietnam, what about the work problems of the current employees in the factory?
This problem has no solution! Human resources in the East are cheap. There is no reason to ask capitalists to use expensive ones instead of using cheap ones.
This is a super social problem. Not to mention the two new lawyers Bella and Hogarth, even the president who rules the country on Twitter has no good solution to it.
From a national perspective, the most that can be done is to implement some tax reduction measures to encourage capitalists to use domestic workers. Whether the capitalists will listen or not is another matter.
Bella definitely cannot solve this kind of social problem. She is not a savior. Let the current employees find their own solutions.
After more than ten days of negotiations, Bella obtained the signatures of a total of fifty-nine old workers, including Old Joe, Old Willy, and Old Yal, as their joint client in the lawsuit. A civil lawsuit was launched against Wexler Steel Co. and the Phoenix branch of Stark Industries, which acquired the steel company.
Jerry Hogarth was also eager for fame. Even if all the legal fees were not paid, she began to follow Bella to visit the elderly one by one, sort out the materials, and prepare for an appeal.
At the same time, Natasha also organized a large number of elderly people to demonstrate in the old city and the east and west urban areas.
Bella did not receive any memories from her predecessor, which meant that she did not know her classmates and teachers at all. She was a fake local. Natasha could only be responsible for organizing the parade.
If the elderly stand in the sun for two hours, they will definitely not be able to hold on. Just like clocking in, let them come and take a walk every morning. Part of the members of the parade are young students nearby, and the other majority are workers. Our sons, daughters, grandchildren, and granddaughters.
The slogan 'Want Bread, Want Work' must not be used. The old man and the old lady are already eighty, and letting them go to work is completely murderous. The main content of the slogan is to pay pensions, and the pensions cannot be stopped for any reason in the future. gold.
Through a two-pronged approach, their side suddenly gained momentum. The accident of Flight 180 only faced the passengers of that flight, but now the demonstrations and lawsuits represent a group and target a multinational group, which is harmful to society. The influence caused is not of the same level at all.
......
Los Angeles, California.
Tony Stark, a super genius who claims to be able to make circuit boards at the age of four, build engines at the age of six, and graduated from MIT at the age of seventeen, has just given away a certain female star whose name he cannot name.
He has always been the darling of the media. He is dating so and so, what opinions he has on certain policies, what do he think of the New York congressman, what do he think of the Los Angeles congressman, which sports team he supports, etc. A mess of questions will surround him when he leaves the villa.
It is normal to ask questions. As a super topical figure, it is strange that no media reporters ask questions.
If the female reporter is beautiful and has a good figure, Tony Stark will reply with a few words, otherwise he will ignore it.
But today's question has a few new twists.
"Mr. Stark, what do you think about the pensions that engulf the elderly? Where have these pensions been misappropriated? You make the elderly homeless, but you enjoy top social resources. You Don’t you feel guilty?”
What kind of nonsense is this? view? What can I say? These questions were meaningless to Tony Stark. There were too many people trolling him in all kinds of ways. Without thinking, he opened the car door and left his villa in a hurry.
He didn't take it seriously because he was too far away.
But as the incident slowly spread from Arizona to California, tens of thousands of industrial workers were still alarmed.
Retired workers are worried about their pension being suspended, while those who are still working are worried about the future. Who can bear it if their pension suddenly disappears when they retire?
The workers' concerns did not attract enough attention from the management. There were too many companies and individuals suing Stark Industries. If the group responded with great fanfare every time, the management would stop working.
Someone sued us? OK, transfer it to the Legal Department and let the Legal Department resolve the issue!
Stark Industries doesn't take it seriously, but their competitors are quite happy. These people are behind the demonstrations in California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Colorado.
Even Bella received a bearer check for a total of 10,000 US dollars. The other party probably meant to let her have some money, right?
......
Phoenix Courthouse.
Bella was dressed in a formal suit and sat behind the plaintiff's table with a calm expression, while attorney Jerry Hogarth sat next to her.
Clients and attorneys for the steel plant and Stark Industries' Phoenix unit sat on the defendant's side.
In the auditorium at the back sat Lao Qiao and others.
Besides the judge and clerk are twelve members of the jury.
The bearded judge announced the opening of the trial, and lawyer Hogarth began to make an extremely sharp statement.
"On behalf of fifty-nine elderly people, I formally sue Wexler Steel and Stark Industries...
History should not be forgotten. I hope history will remember today and this moment.
Our predecessors worked hard and selflessly for the war. Now that they are old, those companies are so stingy that they even want to appropriate their meager pensions. What about us? When we get old, what will we rely on to survive?
When I lose my ability to act and can no longer stand in court and speak out, when all the jury members retire from their current jobs due to illness and age, if at that time our pensions are frozen, we what to do? Go begging? Go kneel in front of the gate of Stark Industries and beg them to give us a piece of bread?
Law! The law is an effective weapon to safeguard our own rights and protect ourselves! What we want is not begging, not Mr. Tony Stark. Mr. Obadiah Stane rewarded us with a piece of bread like a saint. What we want is decency, the last dignity for a person to spend his old age in a civilized society. ! ”
Miss Jerry Hogarth is still a little immature now, but it can be seen that there is excitement in her tone.
