On August 3, because Lin Shangzhou had no experience in politics, he wrote two documents for submission to the parliament under the guidance of Louis, one on the establishment of standards for the treatment of workers and women workers, and the other in the hope that the parliament would allow workers in the Strasbourg area to form their own unions, and at the same time would attend the parliament as an observer on the 4th.
On the morning of August 4, Lin Shangzhou submitted the two documents to the parliament, where the members discussed the relevant proposals.
At the end of the discussion, a proposal to improve the treatment of workers was adopted, and workers were allowed to form their own unions, but the parliamentarians overwhelmingly refused to make provisions to improve the treatment of women workers.
In his vehement, Mr. Lin told parliamentarians about the plight of women workers, and explained the benefits of gaining popular support and other benefits.
But the speaker's rebuttal left him speechless.
"Councillor Hipper, I can understand your desire to help the women workers, but we can't just help them with a single passion, we need to see what we can get by helping the women workers?"
The women workers have no political status to vote for us, and second, they have too little income to provide us with direct tax revenues, but the increase in the income of the textile mills can provide us with additional income, and acquiescing to the workers' own unions has gone against Berlin policy, and we can no longer go against Berlin policy. The
speaker's words almost made him scold him in court, and at this moment he instantly understood why Louis wanted to pull himself into the SPD so much, and in the face of such a situation, it was a headache for anyone, and it was necessary and necessary to bring a radical into the party to increase his strength.
He didn't understand why the parliament would allow workers to form their own unions but not allow the enactment of relevant regulations to improve the treatment of women workers, and no matter how you look at it, the former is more likely to cause dissatisfaction in Berlin than the latter, right?
Lin Shangzhou wanted to ask in court, but Louis pulled his arm and motioned for him to sit down, so he had to take a deep breath and sit down.
After that, the city council was very common, with different officials reporting on the situation in different departments, and he, as the newly appointed minister of labour and social affairs, also made a brief report to the council.
After the parliament, Louis approached Lin Shangzhou to explain to him why the council would rather allow workers to form their own unions than raise the wages of women workers.
The reason is twofold, on the one hand, as the speaker said, that women workers cannot bring sufficient political and economic benefits to the government, and on the other hand, the prime minister's personal discriminatory attitude towards women, and Albert himself has taken the initiative to express his discriminatory attitude towards civilian women in public.
The prime minister has publicly said that he is discriminating against civilian women, and the local government naturally does not dare to step on the thunder.
The first reason made Lin Shangzhou very angry, but after hearing the second reason, he was only helpless in his heart.
Who is
the person who said that the power of the German Empire was the apex of power? People who did not know the German Empire would say that they were the emperor, and that was true in the past, but those who live in this country and know a little bit about politics know that the person who stood at the apex of power in the German Empire was Albert, the Chancellor of the Center Party.
It was also at this time that Lin Shangzhou understood that if he wanted to improve the status of women, the first thing he had to do was to kick Albert out of the position of prime minister.
As long as someone other than Albert becomes prime minister, then the government's attitude towards women will definitely be much better.
Louis's attitude was also obvious, so that he now gave up helping the female workers.
However, Lin Shangzhou will not give up easily, he really can't fundamentally change the treatment of female workers, but he still does it to stumble on the textile factory, after all, he is also a government official, as long as he proposes to inspect and gets permission, then Jenna's textile factory will be inspected by government personnel.
He plans to let government personnel inspect frequently, and frequent inspections will attract social attention, and then let the "Worker" increase its efforts to report on this matter, arousing public opinion, if public opinion cannot put pressure on the government and Jenner, then he believes that frequent inspections will put enough pressure on Jenner.
This is a bit of a trick, but it is facing the capitalists, and the capitalists cannot be confused with ordinary people.
After deciding to make a decision, Lin Shangzhou went to the newspaper office to tell the deputy editor-in-chief about the matter, and the deputy editor-in-chief readily agreed, and then he found Goebbels, who was coding words, hoping that he could help write relevant articles.
After careful consideration, Goebbels did not agree to Lin Shangzhou's request, because he had not written a similar article, and there was no domestic article to learn from in Germany in recent years, and he thought that it would be better for such an article to be written by a woman.
So Lin Shangzhou could only give up for the time being.
Leaving the newspaper office, he went to a bar in Wolfgang, where he sought the help of the Syndicals, who were certainly more radical than the SPD in the emancipation of women, and who certainly had women among them.
But he didn't see Walter at the bar today, so he went back to his apartment.
Now he had to rely on frequent checks for this almost trick.
In the month that followed, the inspection department of the Strasbourg government inspected the textile mill once a week on average, and this did work, because Lin Shangzhou went to the textile factory again on August 30, and it was a weekend, and he went to the textile factory and saw that the female workers were not working but resting in the factory, which made him very happy, and his efforts were effective.
Frequent inspections left Jenna unsure when the government would come back for inspections, and the government fines could be much more than the wages paid in a day, so she chose to spend less - a small increase in the pay of female workers.
Cut down on the dispensable hours, pay them a salary that wasn't worth mentioning to Jenner, and give them a day off on weekends.
Now that the issue of the treatment of female workers has been solved, Lin Shangzhou will focus on improving his prestige and popularity in the city of Strasbourg.
Since becoming a minister and a member of parliament in August, Lin Shangzhou has been doing a variety of work that is conducive to increasing popularity, including but not limited to visiting factories, visiting residents in slums, and meeting with middle and upper classes of society
He did everything he could think of.
Seeing the lives of the middle and lower classes of Strasbourg's inhabitants, he kept proposing social welfare bills in the parliament, once if he did not pass it, he proposed it a second time, and if he failed twice, he proposed it a third time, and finally in mid-September, the city council passed a social welfare bill, which would subsidize citizens with incomes below a certain standard and various living difficulties on top of the basic social welfare policies of the German Empire.
After the promulgation of this bill, the name of Filitz Hipper once again became the focus of the city of Strasbourg, and Lin Shangzhou gained a lot of popularity and popularity.
The formation of the Strasbourg workers' union was also carried out in a steady and orderly manner after the approval of the city council in August, and the only obstacle was the factory bosses, which Lin Shangzhou did not have a good solution, after all, the establishment of a union in the factory requires the consent of the boss, and the establishment of a union is dispensable for the workers who have already improved their salaries, so there are several factories that have not established a union.
The trade unions of the factories were under the leadership of the machine shop unions, so the machine factory trade unions were now the Strasbourg City Federation of Trade Unions.
After this, a new organization similar to the Confederation of Free Workers was taking root in Strasbourg....
After accumulating enough popularity, all that Lin Shangzhou had to think about was running for mayor in November, and at a meeting in early October, he was nominated for mayor by the city council, and the next thing was to prepare for the election.
Although he got the nomination, Lin Shangzhou didn't think he could successfully run for the election, why... Those who support him do not have the right to vote.
