Blackstone Code

Lynch's well-intentioned, factual jokes prepared the two of them for what they were about to talk about as they walked out of City Hall, into the parking lot and into Ferrara's car inside.

It seems that this small and confined space can provide people with more sense of security. Ferrara rolled down some car windows slightly and lit a cigarette. "Recently, the workers union is preparing for a new parade. You do you know?"

Lynch shook his head. He had only been back for a few days, and he didn't care about the situation of the workers. Moreover, he didn't have any friends in the workers' union group.

In fact, most of the troubles of the labor unions are due to the fact that the current life is too difficult. The unemployment rate as high as 20% puts the entire city of Sabine in a terrible situation.

People were walking weakly on the street. Some tall men were so skinny that they had to sit down and rest for a while after walking a few steps. Their lack of physical strength made even walking a burden.

The law and order in Sabine City is quite good now. Those veterans have filled the vacancy in the police station after the police strike. Their execution ability is much stronger than the ordinary police recruited into the police station, and their attitude is also much tougher.

Most of the policemen in the past and the prominent figures on the streets are already familiar with them. From a certain point of view, they did this to better detect cases when they happened, but there are also some problems, such as leaking information. , or human relationships.

But now none of these exist. The police have cleared the streets in an unprecedented way. People on those streets can only shrink in their houses, and the rest have no power to commit crimes. Much better.

But these changes can't change the fact that people don't have jobs, and work is more important than anything else at this time.

Even some of the newspapers reported some amazing news, such as a teenage girl who slept with a cook in his fifties in order to get a job as a waiter.

Another example is that two generations of women in a family were arrested at the same time for illegal recruitment. Judges, society, and public opinion chased them so hard that both mother and daughter chose to commit suicide together.

Too many things come together, that is, it is difficult to stabilize the society without jobs. This is the purpose of the workers' union march. They want the city hall to provide them with some jobs, so that some very difficult families will not Take the road of crime.

From the perspective of morality and ethics, this kind of appeal is normal, even great, but the way of appeal is not so popular, and the mayor is also troubled by it.

"The mayor told me you have a new way of hiring people to work for you..."

Before Ferrara could finish speaking, Lynch interrupted him, "No, it's not employment. I have to correct your and the mayor's cognitive errors in this regard. We are cooperation!"

Lynch patiently explained to Ferrara his cooperation model with these people. These people are not his workers. These family-based workshops are themselves a micro-enterprise, and Lynch is another enterprise.

He placed orders for these micro-enterprises. They are cooperative relationships, and there has never been an employment relationship!

"...so, this is not an employment relationship, and I don't need to guarantee their working hours, income and various social security for this, you know what I mean?"

Ferrara's expression was a little weird. What he heard from the mayor was incomplete. In short, the mayor's tone was not very good, as if...he didn't think Lynch was a thing.

At first, Ferrara thought it was a little strange, but now he had the same idea, Lynch is really not a fucking thing.

When people talk about the cruelty and cruelty of capitalists, they always mention 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 directly jumps out of this framework. Ferrara doesn't know whether to call him a genius or an asshole. Ferrara believes that all capitalists in the Federation will like Lynch's new idea. Save them a ton 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 even have difficulty paying social insurance.

Ferrara raised some of his own questions, and Lynch explained it patiently. If people want to start accepting this kind of thing, they must first understand that this is not actually exploitation.

The so-called "piecework method" is essentially a process for ordinary people and ordinary families to create and realize their self-worth. If they are willing to work hard, they can get much more than when they worked in factories before.

But if they are not willing to create and realize their own value, they choose to be lazy, or even do nothing, then they will get nothing.

"Society is not a baby bag. It may be cruel here, but it also has a fairness that cannot be found in other places, real fairness."

"How much you pay and how much you get, if this is not fair, I can hardly believe that there is anything in this world that can be called fair!"

"And, my friend, whether any system, any method will really survive, the response of the society itself will give the answer. What is suitable will always exist, and what is not suitable will soon disappear."

"None of us knows whether my method will work, whether it is suitable for the development of society and the times, which needs to be verified, but I think it is a good way!"

Ferrara smoked several cigarettes in a row. He couldn't find any arguments to refute Lynch's fallacy. In the end, he could only sigh with a wry smile, "I found that I was convinced by you!"

Lynch followed closely, "The more debated the truth becomes, the clearer it becomes (only the conclusions proved through repeated proofs are instructive)!"

"You always have some special vocabulary..." Ferrara said and pondered for a while, "What the mayor means is that if you can convince those people in the labor union to adopt your method, maybe you can start with them talk!"

This sentence means that the mayor has made concessions on this issue of principle. In fact, he can’t do without concessions. Among those who are of suitable age and willing to work, one out of every five people is unemployed. What is this? concept?

Among the 800,000 population of Sabine City, there are about 150,000 people who are suitable for work and have the intention to work, but now 30,000 people have no jobs.

These 30,000 people affect about 100,000 families and radiate the lives of 200,000 to 300,000 people. This index is already terrible. If the unemployment rate continues to rise, or if it remains at this number, it is very likely that Sabine City will City halls would be declared dissolved and then re-elected by the people, or simply self-governed, until the city was eventually abolished.

The unemployment rate in Sabine City is significantly higher than other places. The main reason is that the Ristorian Group has collapsed. The mayor thought that finding out the problem and keeping them would prevent more people from being unemployed.

But the worse the problem became, the more troublesome it became. In fact, even if the Ristorian Group did not leave, they would not be able to start work.

After several years of falsified financial reports, they actually lose money every year. Even if the mayor and the governor don't touch them, they won't last long, and they will still go bankrupt.

Now that the mayor was cornered, he remembered Lynch's previous proposal.

Lynch's spirit lifted, "When will I talk to them?"

"The night after tomorrow, there will be a big parade during the day after tomorrow. After the game is over, you can talk about it. You can choose the location yourself, but the union wants to put the venue in the office building of the workers' union."

Lynch chuckled when he heard this, he nodded slightly and constantly, and he got some other meanings from Ferrara's words.

Obviously he could talk to the workers' union directly about this matter and prevent the parade from happening, but the mayor didn't show any intention to advance it, and the workers' union even wanted the negotiation venue to be in their office building, which made the whole thing suddenly There is some strange smell, which is the smell of politics.

The mayor wanted to show his ability and influence, and he was able to suppress the parade as soon as it broke out, which shows his ability.

As for the parade?

Please get rid of this, this is the Freedom Federation. Parades and rallies are the freedom rights of citizens granted by the charter. They can even start parades and assemblies spontaneously without notifying the Social Service Bureau. The police and other agencies cannot disperse them, and even help them maintain order, because this It is the embodiment of the precious spirit of freedom of the Freedom Federation.

These bastards hold a parade when they have nothing to do, for example, they hold a parade on the weekends to protest that the capitalists give them no beef in their lunches, and now the situation is so bad, there are marchers all over the country, and no one can blame it The parade broke out in Sabine City.

As for workers’ unions, workers’ representatives who don’t regard themselves as workers, they also hope to show their influence.

As soon as the parade started, the city hall arranged for people to solve the problem. This only shows that the local labor union has done a good job in terms of cohesion and influence. At that time, the head of the local union may be rewarded or even promoted by the high-level union Join the Socialist Party and become a politician of sorts!

compromise?

No, it should be fornication.

After feeling some contemptuous attitude in Lynch's heart at this time, Ferrara laughed a few times, "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, I can feel that he attaches great importance to this matter!"

After the two parted, Lynch returned home. After a few days of absence, the place was still clean and tidy. When he was away, the maid would still come over to clean it anytime and anywhere to ensure that the place was spotless.

Her attitude at work is even more focused, more careful, and lighter than before, her skirts have become shorter, and her open chest has become larger and lower, of course, all of this is to keep the job!

In this era and in this environment, it is not easy for everyone!
