Blackstone Code Chapter 278: Not easy times
Lynch's well-meaning and factual joke prepared both of them for what they were going to talk about next, as they walked out of City Hall, into the parking lot and into Fira Le's car.
It seems to be able to provide people with more sense of security in this small and confined space, Ferrar rolled down some car windows and lit a cigarette, "Recently, the workers' union is preparing for a new meal. Parade, you know?"
Lynch shook his head. It was only a few days after he came back, so he didn't care about the situation on the workers' side, and he didn't have any friends in the workers' union group, so he wasn't interested, so naturally he didn't know that the workers' union would be making trouble .
Actually, most of the turmoil in the workers' union is due to the fact that life is too difficult. The unemployment rate as high as 20% puts the entire city of Sabine in a terrible situation.
People walk on the streets weakly. Some tall men are so thin that they are skinny. After walking a few steps, they will sit down and rest for a while. The lack of physical strength makes them a burden to even walk.
Now the law and order in Sabine City is quite good. Those veterans have filled the vacancies in the police station after the police strike. They are much stronger in execution than ordinary policemen recruited to the police station, and they are also tough in attitude. many.
Most of the past police officers and prominent figures on the streets are already familiar with them. From some perspectives, they do this to better detect cases when they occur, but there are also some problems, such as Talk about leaking news or personal relationships.
But now that doesn't exist anymore, the police have cleared the streets like never before, and the people on those streets can only hide in their houses, and the rest have no strength to even commit crimes. It made the law and order much better.
But these changes never change the fact that people don't have jobs, and work is more important than anything at this time.
Even some newspapers are reporting some amazing news, such as a certain teenage girl sleeping with a cook in her fifties in order to get a job as a waitress .
Another example is that two generations of women in a family were arrested for responding illegally at the same time. Judges, society, and public opinion pursued them so fiercely that the mother and daughter chose to commit suicide together.
Too many things come together, that is, it is difficult for society to truly stabilize without jobs. This is the purpose of this demonstration of the workers' union. They want the city hall to provide them with some jobs and make some very difficult Families do not go down the path of crime.
From a moral and ethical point of view, this kind of appeal is normal, even great, but the way it appeals is not so popular, and the mayor is also troubled by it.
"The mayor told me that you had a new way of hiring people to work for you..."
Before Ferrar finished speaking, Lynch interrupted him, "No, it's not hiring, I have to correct your and the mayor's misunderstanding in this regard, we're cooperating!"
Lynch was very patient and explained to Ferrar the model of his cooperation with these people. These people are not his workers. These family-based workshops are themselves a micro-enterprise. Lynch is another a business.
He places orders for these micro-businesses, and they are partnerships, never employment!
"...So, it's not an employment relationship, and I don't need to guarantee their hours, income, and all kinds of social security for that, you know what I mean?"
Ferrar's expression is a little weird. What he heard from the mayor is not very complete. In short, the mayor's tone is not very good, as if... he thinks Lynch is not a thing.
At first Ferrar thought it was a little weird, but now he thinks the same way, Lynch is not a **** thing.
When people talk about the cruelty and cruelty of capitalists, they will bring up some bills, such as the "Minimum Hourly Wage Law", "Worker Protection Law", etc. These bills protect workers from arbitrary exploitation and oppression by capitalists.
No matter how the capitalists want to treat these workers, they must follow the rules and carry out their ugly and despicable exploitation and oppression within the framework of the rules.
But now Lynch has jumped out of this frame all of a sudden. Ferrar doesn't know whether to call him a genius or an asshole. Ferrar believes that capitalists across the federation will like Lynch's new idea , which can save them a lot of money.
At the same time, Ferrara himself has some concerns. Once capitalists start to use this method, it also means that a large number of workers will lose all kinds of protection, and they may not even be able to pay social insurance.
Ferrar raised some of his own questions, and Lynch explained it patiently. If you want people to start accepting this kind of thing, you must first make them understand that this is not actually exploitation.
The so-called "piecework method" is essentially a process that ordinary people and ordinary families create and realize their self-worth. If they are willing to work hard, they can get more than what they used to work in the factory. many.
But if they don't want to create and realize their value, they choose to be lazy, or even do nothing, then they get nothing.
"Society is not a nursery bag. It may be cruel here, but there is also justice that cannot be found anywhere else, true justice."
"If it's not fair how much you give and how much you get, I have a hard time believing that there is anything in this world that can be called fair!"
"And, my friends, whether any system, a method will really last, the response of society itself will give the answer, the right ones will always exist, and the unsuitable ones will quickly disappear."
"None of us know whether my method will work and whether it is suitable for the development of society and the times. This needs to be verified, but I think it is a good method!"
Ferrar smoked several cigarettes in a row. He couldn't find any arguments to refute Lynch's fallacies, and finally he could only sigh with a wry smile, "I found that I was persuaded by you!"
Lynch followed closely, "The more you argue, the more clear the truth becomes (the conclusion that has been proven repeatedly is instructive)!"
"You always have some special words..." Ferrar said and pondered for a while, "The mayor means that if you can convince those in the workers' union to adopt your method, maybe you can Talk to them first!"
This sentence means that the mayor has made concessions on this principled issue. In fact, he will not make concessions. Among the people who are suitable for work and who are willing to work, one in five is unemployed. What is this concept?
About 150,000 of Sabine's 800,000 people are suitable for work and have the intention to work, but now there are 30,000 people who are unemployed.
These 30,000 people affect about 100,000 families and radiate to the lives of 20,000 to 300,000 people. This index is already terrifying. If the unemployment rate continues to rise, or if it remains at this number, it is very likely The Sabine City Hall will be dissolved and then re-elected by the people, or simply self-governed until the city is finally abolished.
The unemployment rate in Sabine is significantly higher than other places. The main reason is that the Ristoan group has collapsed. The mayor thought that finding out the problem and keeping them would prevent more people from losing their jobs.
But the worse the problem, the more troublesome it gets. In fact, even if the Ristoan Group doesn't leave, they won't be able to start work.
After years of fraudulent financial reports, they actually lose money every year. Even if the mayor and governor don't touch them, they won't be able to last long, and they will go bankrupt by then.
Now that the mayor has been cornered, he remembered Lynch's previous proposal.
Lynch's spirits lifted, "When am I going to talk to them?"
"There will be a big parade in the evening and the day after the day after tomorrow. After the game is over, you can talk about it. You can choose the location yourself, but the union hopes that the location will be placed in the office building of the workers' union."
Lynch chuckled lightly when he heard this. He nodded his head slightly and constantly, and he picked up some other meanings from Ferrara's words.
It was obvious that he could directly discuss this matter with the workers' union and prevent the demonstration from happening, but the mayor did not show any intention to advance it. The workers' union even wanted the negotiating place to be in their office building, which made the whole Suddenly there was a strange smell in the matter, the smell of politics.
The mayor wanted to show his ability and influence, and the fact that he was able to hold it down as soon as the march broke out speaks to his ability.
As for the parade?
Please get rid of it, this is the Free Federation, marches and assemblies are the freedom rights granted to citizens by the charter, they can even spontaneously start marches and assemblies without notifying the social service bureau, the police and other agencies cannot disperse them, and even help them maintain order , because it is the embodiment of the precious spirit of freedom of the Free Commonwealth.
These **** will hold a parade when they are okay, for example, on the weekends to protest against the capitalists giving them no beef in their lunches, etc. Now the situation is so bad, there are people marching all over the country, no One would blame the parade that broke out in the city of Sabine.
As for workers' unions, those workers' representatives who don't see themselves as workers, they also want to show their influence.
As soon as the parade started, the city hall arranged for someone to solve the problem. This only shows that the local workers' union has done a very good job in terms of cohesion and influence~IndoMTL.com~ At that time, the person in charge of the local guild may be affected by Rewards from the top of the trade union, and even promotion to the Socialist Party, becoming a politician of no small size!
Compromise?
No, it should be fornication.
After sensing a certain contempt in Lynch's face at this time, Ferrar laughed dryly, "Is there a problem?"
"Problem?", Lynch came back to his senses and shook his head, "Of course there is no problem, I will convince these people!"
"That's good, although the mayor didn't say it clearly, but I can feel that he takes this matter very seriously!"
After the two parted, Lynch returned to the house. After a few days, the place was kept clean and tidy. When he was away, the maid would still come over to clean and sanitize to ensure that the place was spotless.
Her attitude at work is even more focused, attentive, and brisk than ever, with shorter skirts, bigger and lower breasts, all in order to keep the job!
In this era, in this environment, it's not easy for everyone!
