Chapter 180 Negotiations with Trade Unions

The acquisition of Chrysler's two branches is close to each other, which is convenient to manage and can achieve complementary technologies. Jeep will be positioned as an off-road vehicle and SUV in the future, and Dodge will mainly produce trucks. After the completion of the existing order, there will be no car, and there will be only one brand of car in the future, and that is Heiyun.

Bao Zixuan met with members of the automobile trade union and representatives of two automobile companies in the reception room of the Jeep car factory. A more sinister matter than the takeover negotiations to be resolved. As a boss, you must also come forward, or you will be disrespected for being disrespectful to workers and union organizations. After all, this is the first time that the two sides have negotiated, and there are many issues to communicate.

Looking at the workers' representatives and trade union organizations, Bao Zixuan finally knew why Chrysler would sell the factory to him at such a cheap price, and why the U.S. Department of Commerce did not intervene. It's just that these cannibalistic workers and trade unions will avoid everyone, and now these people can do anything to eat.

After a brief introduction, five people from each side sat together.

The representative of the trade union organization took the lead in speaking and said to the five people of the Black Cloud Group: "Mr. Bao and everyone here, hello. I'm the former Chrysler Motor Company union representative, Paulson. It has now been assigned to negotiate the treatment of workers under the Jeep and Dodge brands. ”

"The Dodgers and Jeep workers want what they deserve, after all, Chrysler owes them so much. It is hoped that after Heiyun takes over the two car brands, he can meet the reasonable demands of the workers, otherwise the workers will get all this according to their own ideas. ”

Hearing what this guy said, it was not only Bao Zixuan, but the rest of the Black Cloud Group employees were very angry. Is this a threat to raise their salaries without doing anything, and to act according to their own ideas if they can't do it? And what Guan Heiyun owed them in the past is simply inexplicable and unreasonable.

John Chambers: "Mr. Paulson, we will raise the treatment of workers according to their contributions to the business, but we cannot accept that the black cloud should compensate Chrysler for his previous problems and faults. After all, at that time, these workers were helping Chrysler create profits, and they had nothing to do with the Black Cloud Group. ”

Paulson: "The Black Cloud Group acquired two car brands from Chrysler, so it has the right and the obligation to do what Chrysler didn't do at the time. The most important thing is that you think that without the restraint of workers, Chrysler would sell the two car brands and factories to Heiyun so cheaply! Chrysler's concession on price is to hope that Heiyun Group will treat the workers of these two automobile companies well, and this is also a kind of compensation in disguise. ”

John Chambers: "Mr. Paulson, don't you think that's ridiculous? We spent $820 million on two car brands and factories, and now we're being asked to compensate our former employers for what they might have been entitled to, and there's no law in the whole of America. ”

"The Black Cloud Group will give these workers a proper salary, but please don't be insatiable. We will only accept requests for reasonable treatment from workers and guarantee that not a penny of wages will be owed in arrears. ”

Paulson knew that many of the terms were not very reasonable, but he wanted to let the workers know. All they get is what the union has helped them earn, and they will be active when they pay their dues in the future. The auto unions in the United States have now become very annoying, and they also played a dishonorable role in the later bankruptcy of Detroit.

Before Paulson could continue to speak, a man in a worker's uniform said, "What kind of treatment can the Black Cloud Group give our workers?" ”

Paulson was furious when he heard someone rushing to speak. After all, every negotiation with the management is led by the trade unions, and the workers' representatives are often just an ornament. Now there are workers who come out to speak, what do the people below want to do? How can these disobedient workers be selected, it seems that the management of the workers below is not very in place. In the future, you must come out with obedient workers, otherwise you will be very passive.

In fact, this worker was arranged by John Chambers, a worker who has worked in Jeep for 24 years named Levine Lack. He is very influential among the workers and is a highly skilled workshop supervisor. The main thing is that his son works for the Black Cloud Group and is an engineer at the Black Cloud Computer Company.

This makes everyone envious of working more, and every time I hear my son say how good the Black Cloud Group is. In addition to the expensive gifts for parents, every time you come back, you will leave a sum of money, which is not fake.

Knowing that there was still such a relationship, John Chambers immediately approached Hiroshi Hashimoto. Let Little Luck persuade his father, for the sake of his son's future, Old Luck has been appeasing the workers' emotions for the acquisition of the Black Cloud Group, and at the same time, he also took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in labor negotiations.

John Chambers was overjoyed to see the chess pieces finally worked, but now was not the time to show it, so he said, "When I was at Chrysler, the average worker was paid $400-$600 a week. Now after Heiyun took over, the minimum weekly salary is $500 under normal working conditions, and the overtime work is twice as high as normal work. At the same time, the factory is responsible for all the three meals a day for the workers, and the food standards of our Heiyun Group are ranked among the best in the world. ”

Hearing this, the three workers' representatives were already very satisfied, and the operating rate was not very high when Chrysler was operating. They were never paid in full, and John Chambers was talking about a theoretical salary. Now they are getting basic living expenses, and many of them are struggling within the poverty line.

When Paulson saw the worker's expression, he knew something was going to go bad. So without hesitation, he said: "We have to go back and discuss, we are not very satisfied with the wage standard proposed by the Black Cloud Group, and the workers should not work overtime, which will have a great impact on their physical and mental health." ”

The first collective bargaining broke up without a result. However, at present, the mood of workers is relatively stable under the mediation of the undercover agents of the Black Cloud Group, but this is not a long-term solution. Bao Zixuan also wants to solve it quickly. However, after looking at the performance of the trade union organization, it should not be resigned, so it can only be carried so hard to see who can hold on in the end.

In order to speed up the negotiation process with the workers, all the employees of the Black Cloud Group in Detroit went down to the workers' homes to reassure them. Under the matchmaking of old Lac, the work went very well, but the union came out to make trouble again at this time.

The two sides suddenly entered a state of tension, and later after everyone made concessions. An agreement was finally reached between labor and management.

Bao Zixuan also knows that it is difficult to get the factory to produce at full capacity if the union is not resolved, and now he can only be aggrieved. This made him very uncomfortable, after all, no one else had this boss do this.

The unions also did not benefit, and there was a lot of discontent in their hearts. Knowing that the Black Cloud Group has contacted many workers in private, it will be difficult to end up if it is tough, which also lays the groundwork for the two sides to sign a new labor agreement in the future.

The minimum weekly wage for workers has been increased to $650, and overtime is paid 2.5 times the current wage. Now let you be arrogant, and when the time comes, after all the automation equipment is used, you will have a good look.

Chambers has been appointed President of Black Cloud Automotive North America, Inc., with overall responsibility for automotive production coordination. With a wave of his hand, Bao Zixuan basically cut down all the existing models, and all the models were redesigned. And the existing engine technology has been fully upgraded, and he wants to create a car that is different from this era, and the imitation object has been found.

This time, Jeep will redesign two new cars, the Grand Cherokee and the Compass, the classic Jeep models of the previous life. These are all Jeep classics, and now they are just being used.

As for Dodge, all of them will switch to the production of trucks and pickups, and will not produce other vehicles in the future. With the existing technology in combination with Rheinmetall patents is fully sufficient.

For Heiyun's first production car, Bao Zixuan decided to refer to the 2013 BMW 3 Series sedan, and will use a hybrid engine. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is controlled within 4 liters.
