Rebirth of the Evil Life

"Although we do not agree with this acquisition, we still respect the laws of Detroit and respect the right of all of you to choose. \u003cBinghuo # 中文. We agree with this transaction. But we must serve the interests of each of your workers. Take charge!" Felicia said loudly.

All the workers looked puzzled. Be responsible for the interests of every worker. In the past 20 years, have you been responsible for us frontline workers? We do the hardest and most tiring work, and we deserve every penny we get. But the taxes we pay are the heaviest, much higher than those paid by the rich. Moreover, if our work is gone, who will care about us at that time! Now take care of us, are you kidding!

"Felica, right? This is Detroit, please don't deceive these kind and honest auto workers here!" Mayor Kilpatrick shouted. He was on Lin Feng's side. Compared to these auto workers who didn't understand politics, he naturally saw Felica's purpose. He wanted to cause trouble for Lin Feng. After being forced to agree to this acquisition, the people from the Ministry of Commerce were still evil-minded and wanted to sabotage it. Kilpatrick naturally refused.

Felica glanced at Kilpatrick and smiled.

"Am I deceiving everyone? No one believes me when I say it, so I invited the Minister of Labor, Ms. Zhao Xiaolan, here today to help everyone protect their legitimate rights and interests!" Felica stepped aside and introduced a Chinese woman.

Elaine Chao is the first Chinese American to serve in the cabinet in the United States. Her husband is Mitch McConnell, the current Republican leader of the U.S. Senate. He was born in Taipei in 1953. His ancestral home is Jiading, Shanghai. He immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1963. Therefore, by blood, she is of Chinese descent. But to be a bit rebellious, it is hard to say whether she is Chinese or not, whether she admits that she is Chinese or not. As far as the education she received since childhood was concerned, it was a Western education. As for her parents, since they are Taiwanese, whether they recognize China or not is another matter.

"Hello fellow citizens of Detroit, my name is Zhao Xiaolan. Your experience has always been the focus of our work, and we have been trying to protect your rights and interests. This starts from the fact that we helped you establish the United Automobile Workers Union. "Look, you should know that our Ministry of Labor has never given up on you." Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile, "And this time, I am also entrusted by the Minister of Commerce Gutierrez to solve your current problems."

Many workers fell silent. Naturally, they don't like the Ministry of Commerce. But they still have a favorable impression of the Department of Labor. The United Automobile Workers Union in Detroit was established under the coordination of the Department of Labor. Since the establishment of the United Automobile Workers Union, workers' treatment has improved in the past twenty years. Otherwise, there would not be an average monthly salary of 40 RMB.

"Very good, it seems that everyone is still willing to believe in our Ministry of Labor. So, here, I want to analyze with you the situation at hand!" Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile, "At present, Detroit is subject to the overall industry economic downturn,

As a result, Detroit has been in economic recession for the past two decades. I think many people here, many of them should have lost their jobs, right! "Zhao Xiaolan said in a regretful and helpless tone.

Many people in the venue nodded. Indeed, many people here have lost their jobs. Chrysler was on the verge of bankruptcy, and General Motors, the largest automobile company in the United States, had a great reputation, but in fact it was not much better. They are also in the red, and many factories are in a state of semi-stop operation. If it weren't for the large number of people involved, I'm afraid many factories would have stopped production directly. That's why Detroit's referendum attracted so many workers to vote.

"I think Mr. Lin Feng's acquisition of Chrysler this time is indeed a good thing. His arrival may change the status quo in Detroit, but at the same time we must also see the risks involved." Zhao Xiaolan said cautiously, "Everyone knows that once The core value of this transaction is profit. Lin Feng is not God. He acquired Chrysler to make money, not to be a philanthropist and pay everyone free wages."

Many workers nodded. They naturally understand this simple truth. After all, if it were them, they wouldn't do it if there was no benefit. This is human nature.

"So, behind this acquisition, we must ensure the interests of all workers. We cannot harm the legitimate interests of most workers because of one acquisition." Zhao Xiaolan looked serious, "As far as the more than 12 acquisitions we have come into contact with in the past Among them, as an acquirer, the first thing to do when acquiring a loss-making company is to lay off employees and cut wages to ensure balance of payments. I don't want to see more after Chrysler is acquired. Workers have lost their jobs and more families are in trouble!”

"Then what should we do?" a worker shouted.

Zhao Xiaolan smiled slightly.

"We should unite and unite the power of all workers to fight against the employer and ensure that our legitimate interests are not infringed!" Zhao Xiaolan said loudly, "This time, all of us workers must unite to fight against the employer and not let all Workers’ interests are being undermined again.”

"Yes, we must unite!" all the workers shouted. At this moment, these Detroit workers, under Zhao Xiaolan's call, united tightly. In the United States, workers originally have unions to defend their interests. However, in many cases, no matter how strong the union is, workers are still a vulnerable group in the face of more powerful employers. This is like the NBA. On the surface, the players are the biggest, especially the superstars in the team, who have the most say in a team. But in fact, every collective bargaining agreement will always end up being a compromise between labor and not management.

Because the employer holds the resource that players need most - money, the employer does not need to invest this money in basketball, but can invest it in other areas. In other areas, they can make more money than on the basketball court. As for the players, if they don't play, they will have no source of livelihood and cannot survive. Therefore, the employer always takes the initiative. Even if the players choose to fight to the end, choose to die together and shut down the NBA, it is the labor that will ultimately compromise.

This is true for these players, and even more so for the most ordinary workers. In any general strike, management will always win in the end. Because you, the workers, need to survive. If the strike continues for a long time, the employer will at most lose some profits and make less money, while the labor side will find it difficult to survive. Take the automobile industry in Detroit, for example. The union is very powerful, but the employer can choose to withdraw investment and move the factory to a farther city. No matter how strong your union is, can you still prevent the employer from moving the factory?

Therefore, the existence of trade unions is only to help workers strive for the best interests allowed by management. But this premise is that the employer allows it. However, now that the Ministry of Labor has come forward, it is equivalent to the government mediating. Once the government comes forward, workers can often obtain benefits far beyond their previous expectations.

Oops, we're in trouble now! Mayor Kilpatrick frowned. He did not expect that the Ministry of Commerce would move out of the Ministry of Labor, and under the influence of the Ministry of Labor, these workers would probably receive far more benefits than they should receive. Of course, Lin Feng has the right to choose to refuse, but in that case, whether it is the pressure of public opinion or social reputation, he will be on the opposite side of Lin Feng. After all, it was you who said the acquisition was being made. Now the people of Detroit used their referendum to help you obtain the legal rights for the acquisition. However, you refused the acquisition because of some reasonable conditions they offered. This is undoubtedly deceiving the people. . And this blow to Lin Feng was naturally huge.

At the moment, Kilpatrick took advantage of Chao Xiaolan to discuss countermeasures with many workers' representatives and found Lin Feng.

"Zhao Xiaolan!" Lin Feng frowned slightly. Lin Feng had been in contact with Zhao Xiaolan before. The last time the ‘Wind City’ was built, so many Chinese migrant workers had labor certificates that they had to deal with Zhao Xiaolan. For this woman, Lin Feng's evaluation is that she is a strong woman. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that women should not give way to men.

Now that she has come forward and represents the Ministry of Commerce, this is a problem. And this time, they openly discussed countermeasures in public, which was undoubtedly a demonstration to themselves.

"Mr. Lin, based on my speculation, I am afraid that the conditions they propose are to refuse to lay off employees, refuse to cut wages, and even ask you to repay part of the workers' benefits and bonuses owed by Chrysler in the past!" Kilpatrick City Chang smiled bitterly, "Based on this referendum and the importance of Chrysler to the United States, I believe anyone on the outside will think that you should do this. Especially, you have always been extremely righteous, generous, and generous to the people." If you refuse this time, you will probably lose a lot of points in your image, and if someone is taking advantage of you, Detroit will become your waterloo!”

Kilpatrick absolutely did not want anything to happen to Lin Feng. If something happened to Lin Feng, he would have no time to take care of himself. And those things about yourself will also emerge. At that time, Lin Feng can throw away his hands and leave, and he can only wait for the court to convene to try him for corruption.

"Waterloo?" Lin Feng smiled slightly, "This is not Belgium! Okay, let's go, come with me to the square to meet Minister Zhao Xiaolan! Speaking of which, these can be regarded as my compatriots. I am in the United States, and I am subject to the U.S. government's I don’t want to see you, but my compatriot has become the first Chinese-American cabinet in the United States. What a huge gap!” Lin Feng laughed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
