After finishing the affairs of the new newspaper, Lin Shangzhou left the room on the first floor, and then he was going to find the workers and arrange for them to do the next thing, he and Louis came to the door of the room on the second floor, he reached out and knocked on the door, and the door opened after a few seconds, and the person who opened the door was Lin Wenhua.

Lin Wenhua enthusiastically invited Lin Shangzhou and Louis to the room, and the workers in the living room were passing the time leisurely.

Because the workers were on standby, Lin Shangzhou directly gathered the workers together to discuss the next things with them.

Lin Shangzhou first sincerely thanked the six workers who were willing to follow him from Strasbourg to Berlin, you must know that the condition of the workers here is definitely worse than that of Strasbourg, and they are willing to give up their jobs there to accompany them, Lin Shangzhou is very grateful.

After thanking him, Lin Shangzhou sat back in his chair, cleared his throat and said to the workers, "Then let's talk about what we will do next."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Wenhua and the other six workers became serious and waited quietly for him to speak.

"First of all, you have to be prepared for bad treatment, Berlin is completely different from Strasbourg, the government there is more left-leaning, while Berlin's centrist government is completely right-wing, and this is also the stronghold of the right-wing, so the treatment of workers may be the same level as the treatment of Strasbourg workers in the past, or maybe even worse. As the

words fell, Lin Shangzhou noticed that two workers were swallowing, but their eyes were still determined.

"It's okay, what's the bad treatment, it's not that we haven't suffered hardships, although the old saying says that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, but we are all people who have suffered hardships, and it's not that we can't endure hardships, right?"

Lin Wenhua said loudly without fear, and his words also inspired other workers, and they nodded their heads to indicate that they could.

Seeing that everyone's spirits were uplifted, Lin Shangzhou continued: "In this case, then your first priority is to enter the factory to work, I suggest that everyone go to the factory after the newspaper of the new newspaper starts to sell, and then everyone will be divided into three groups in twos and twos, a total of three groups, so that it is convenient for the two people to take care of each other after entering the factory, what is everyone's opinion?"

The workers looked at each other, then nodded, and had no opinion on this.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Lin Shangzhou continued: "Okay, then the second thing, I suggest that after entering the factory, I should spend a period of time to have a good relationship with the workers in the factory, and after establishing a good relationship with some workers, just like in Strasbourg in the past, I took advantage of the break to go out to buy the newspapers of our newspaper, enter the factory to read, and distribute the newspapers to other workers for them to read, so as to stimulate the workers' sense of struggle, what do you think?"

Huo Wen said: " Filitz, I have something to say. "

Well, you name it.

Lin Shangzhou nodded, waiting for Huo Wen to give his opinion.

Huo Wen said with a serious expression: "Your suggestion is very good, but I went to the factory in Berlin with Lin Wenhua yesterday afternoon, and also contacted the people of the Free Workers' Federation, and learned some about the situation of the workers in Berlin from their mouths.

His serious expression made Lin Shangzhou feel bad in his heart.

"The people of the Free Workers' Federation told us that the workers in Berlin worked a little harder, working 15 hours a day, both at meal time and before bedtime, and that they might not have time to read the newspaper at all.

"Then there is the so-called workers' association that has been formed by the factories together, and the members of this association are made up entirely of factory owners, and more importantly, they are legally authorized by the government to set regulations on workers' wages and so on.

"They have a lot of rules that seem reasonable, for example, workers are fixed to work 10 hours a day, workers are not allowed to work overtime at all, and overtime is only calculated if they work more than the prescribed working hours.

Huo Wen's face became more and more gloomy, and Lin Shangzhou's brows tightened with his words.

"Although the workers' association stipulates that they can only work ten hours a day, this group of stinking and shameless mongrels can only get the wages of those who work enough 100 hours a week, so if the workers really work according to their prescribed working hours, then they will not get a penny, so the workers can only work overtime voluntarily, and one overtime is five hours, these five hours are not paid at all, and the association stipulates that taking leave is counted as an absenteeism, and if you can't make up the working hours in the following time, then the week is equivalent to working in vain。

Huo Wen had a dark face and said to Lin Shangzhou in a serious tone: "Fritz, think about it again, according to this situation, we will simply suffer if we go in, and we will not be able to help the workers, and your plan will eventually face bankruptcy."

After listening to Huo Wen's words, Lin Shangzhou gasped in his heart, Huo Wen was right, they would only suffer simply when they entered the factory.

"Well, I'll think about it again, let's think about what to do together.

Lin Shangzhou leaned back in the chair, rubbing his chin with his right hand and thinking about how to solve this matter, and the others were also thinking about what to do.

This is undoubtedly a very difficult problem, because the so-called workers' association is nothing more than an organization of capitalists uniting to exploit the workers, and more importantly, this workers' association is recognized by the government as a legal organization, so they make regulations of one kind or another.

In other words, if this workers' association is not eliminated, the situation and treatment of the workers cannot be changed, the way of striking can be abandoned, it is simply impossible, and even if the workers can unite to strike, it will be brutally suppressed by the right-wing government.

And whether they can unite the workers to go on strike is still a question.

This workers' association is a legal organization, which means that the only way to get rid of it is at the government level, and the current right-wing government cannot dissolve such an organization, in other words, to get rid of this organization, it requires the social democrats to come to power.

(What to do...)

For a while, Lin Shangzhou didn't know where to start, deal with it, he didn't know where to start, if he didn't deal with it, he was not happy.

Suddenly, he thought of Louis, didn't Louis have two factories? Could he be in that so-called

workers' association? Louis saw what he wanted to say, so he shook his head before him and said, "Don't look at me, I don't belong to that workers' association, and the workers in my factory are treated the same as the factory in Strasbourg." "

Okay.

Lin Shangzhou sighed lightly in his heart and continued to think of other ways.

After thinking about it for a long time, everyone couldn't think of any good way, and in desperation, Lin Shangzhou's affairs on the workers' side could only be put on hold temporarily.
