"Contact the high commissioners from all over the country to recruit truck drivers within the Commonwealth. While negotiating, the domestic traffic lines must not be paralyzed. For special matters, all truck drivers who come to the mainland will be given visa-free passports." Alan Wilson passed The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an order, and then rushed to the negotiation site.

Almost immediately, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport was overcrowded. Even if it was a part-time job, the colonial government had already promised that the treatment would be the same as that of the mainland, and at the same time reimburse the round-trip travel expenses.

While Whitehall announced the start of negotiations with the trade unions, it also publicly accused the workers on strike. This strike will have an indelible impact on the British economy. The supply chain crisis caused by traffic paralysis will lead to inflation this year. High position, this responsibility is undoubtedly caused by the too harsh requirements of the workers.

Jack Jones, president of the Transport and General Workers' Union, was already waiting at the negotiation site, but the BBC's live broadcast first appeared. Alan Wilson undoubtedly gave the union great courtesy. You must know that this is the treatment of the House of Commons. , live broadcast from beginning to end, if Jack Jones, the union leader, performs well, he will definitely become famous in the UK.

Alan Wilson, Chairman of the Commonwealth Fund, Chairman of the Prosperity Foundation Burke Trend, John Hunter, Deputy Secretary of the Cabinet Armstrong, and Frank, Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, left Whitehall and arrived at the negotiation site. This time It can be said that Whitehall is out in full force, expressing its importance to the strike that has caused traffic paralysis in the UK this time.

There is no doubt that the people present are all the leading figures in Whitehall, and any one picked out can be regarded as high-ranking and powerful. If the Soviet Union wants to call, they must choose a striking street lamp and hang it up.

Witnessed by the bbc live broadcast, Alan Wilson arrived first and sat directly in front of Jack Jones. On the left were the chairmen of the two major foundations in the UK, and on the right were the number two in Whitehall and the number one in the Ministry of Finance. , pulled the collar and said, "Then, let's start."

"About this strike of truck drivers." Jack Jones cleared his throat and began to explain the reasonable and legal demands of truck drivers, mentioning the importance to the country.

"When will you be able to drive a truck? It has already played an irreplaceable role." Alan Wilson dragged his chin and leaned forward. "Jack, why exaggerate the role of any group. This world is very realistic. Every group All can be replaced. In the era without trade unions, there are only trade unions of the era. After the war, all industries withered and citizens suffered from the pain of war. At that time, trade unions had their own role in protecting the interests of workers, but it does not mean that there is no bottom line now. It is also right to force the government to agree to unreasonable demands."

The unhurried and ugly face of the cabinet secretary also entered thousands of households through the live broadcast of the BBC. Jack Jones emphasized the reasonable demands of the truck workers. Alan Wilson believed that this demand was unreasonable. In the United Kingdom, all citizens feel the inconvenience of life.

Data statistics are an insignificant part of Whitehall's work. Of course, this is not a problem for Alan Wilson, and he directly used the damage assessment of this strike.

"The most infuriating thing is that the strikers are still attacking the tanker drivers who have been sticking to their posts, causing their lives and property to be damaged. You trade unions have not learned anything good in the Soviet Union. Not absolute is absolute disloyalty, but I have learned it very comprehensively."

Alan Wilson snorted coldly, and took the statistical data to say, "Who will bear the responsibility for the paralysis of oil refineries and gas stations? If Britain suffers from an energy crisis, it will undoubtedly be a major event comparable to the oil crisis, but this Is Britain the only country in the world that suffers losses at one time? If production is interrupted, shall we beg France and Germany to wait for us and not take advantage of the interruption of British production to **** the market?"

Eighty percent of the logistics in the UK rely on road transport, and some places are already experiencing shortages of necessities such as food and medicine, and they are already facing unprecedented snowstorms in the past ten years. I still have to endure hunger and hunger in the cold wind. Now it is 1979, not 1945.

Alan Wilson accused the truck drivers' strike supported by the trade union, which has dragged Britain back to the war period by himself. During the war period, at best, the food was not good, and the basic supplies were still sufficient. In addition to the shortage of supplies, it is a bigger problem than wartime.

This negotiation between Whitehall and the trade union was broadcast live on the BBC and entered thousands of households in the UK. The tit-for-tat scene between the two sides also aroused discussions among British citizens.

Among those who watched this negotiation was the current leader of the Conservative Party, Mrs Thatcher. She watched the BBC live broadcast at her home, and her daughter Carol Thatcher accompanied her mother, "He is the British Civilian chief."

"Carol, do you know him?" Mrs. Thatcher looked at her daughter inquiringly, and she seemed to know this person from what her daughter said.

"I've seen it a few times." Carol Thatcher replied shyly, "He's been to Queenswood School, and he seems to be looking for the headmaster."

"What is he doing at the girls' school?" Mrs. Thatcher didn't notice that her tone was close to screaming, which startled her daughter. Fortunately, the leader of the Conservative Party also reacted immediately, clearing his throat and teaching, "Carol, he is not as simple as he appears on the surface. Many problems in Britain now come from Whitehall."

Alan Wilson is dedicated to benefiting the society, so he naturally doesn't know that he is facing the slander of the leader of the Conservative Party. Fortunately, it is not just Mrs. Thatcher who is watching the live broadcast now.

Wives and ladies of the same status as wives, accompanied by their children full of love, watched the men on TV, showing the inviolability of the country's bottom line in front of trade union representatives.

Arnold happened to go home today, and was with his mother. He was not quite used to Pamela Mountbatten living in London in the winter, and then accompanied her to watch his father who spoke on TV, "It seems that father is not this time. Ready to compromise, this time the trade union demands are really too much."

"It's impossible to be uncompromising. Arnold, how much do you think your father can promise." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her son and asked, she was satisfied with several children. The daughter is a bit worrying, but the two sons are fine.

"The trade union is asking for a 40% salary increase, while the previous salary increase limit was 5%. These two standards are too far apart. It should be unrealistic for my father not to raise at all. It seems impossible to cut it in half." Like a father."

Arnold weighed it with a thoughtful look. This is not to compare the appropriate salary increase, but to see how he knows his father better. "It's too much to cut half and increase by 20%. I think my father can accept the salary increase request." One-third, that is, from the 40 percent salary increase requirement, to 13 percent."

"Are you sure?" Pamela Mountbatten looked at her son approvingly, "How sure are you about the number you mentioned?"

"If it's someone else who is negotiating, then of course I'm not sure. But since the negotiating is my father, from what I know about my father, this number is at least half possible." Arnold replied calmly, "Half is impossible, yes Others may be an achievement, but my father will definitely not be satisfied with a 20% salary increase. And to be honest, the truck drivers who are on strike this time are really a big mouth, from 5% to 4%. Ten, that's too much."

"It's selfish to satisfy one particular group of workers with a wage increase at the cost of hurting the UK economy as a whole. Not to mention attacking tanker drivers who don't go on strike and continue to benefit society."

Alan Wilson knocked on the table and accused, "Great Britain is committed to creating a fair social environment. Please remember that fairness is not equality. There are differences in individual abilities, just as there are no identical people in this world. Some industries The wages are indeed low, we never deny this, this is because the industry he is engaged in can only give such wages~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If workers in a certain industry go on strike today, we will agree to raise wages, no I promised you to tie up the entire British economy, so I must make a stern response to this matter. If you fail to achieve your goal, there may be consequences that no one wants to see. I will continue to add that the besieged tanker workers Behavior is a crime, no matter what the outcome of this negotiation is, the criminals who hurt the tanker workers will definitely be punished by law."

"Sir, you seem to regard the workers as the enemy of England." Jack Jones implied menacingly. "You know, they are the masters of England."

"There is such a saying. However, the owner of the UK, this time the strike group can only represent a part. As for how big this part is, it is still a number that is not easy to estimate." Alan Wilson replied slowly, " Now I have something to disclose, and I believe citizens are also very concerned about this negotiation, John..."

John Hunter nodded and said, "In view of the fact that the local transportation is currently in a state of paralysis, in order to immediately solve the shortage of materials in some areas. From the perspective of assistance, the Commonwealth will provide assistance within its capacity to the problem of material difficulties. The British Empire There are still many ports in hand, and a group of truck drivers will come to the mainland to solve the traffic paralysis problem. They may come from Hong Kong, Singapore, Perth and other places. Because of the supply chain inflation caused by the strike, I believe it can be obtained to a certain extent. above relief."

"Citizens affected by the strike, please wait patiently. The government is working on solving this problem." Alan Wilson said after John Hunter's statement, "As for the strike issue, we will continue to be open to negotiations, but absolutely not Accept unreasonable demands."
