Chapter 1141: Killing Tricks to Promote Legislation
As a trade union organization that has existed for decades, the North American Automobile Workers Association has existed for too long, and after a long time, some things have inertia, such as the high-level trade union engaged in the transfer of interests, in the early days, the high-level of the North American Automobile Workers Association may be more cautious in the transfer of interests, but after these years of development, the habit is "union = political correctness" The top management of the North American Auto Workers Association was not only unscrupulous in doing these things, but also unobtrusive, so the whole process of the police department getting evidence was simply unusual.
With the evidence, it was his next boss who provided the evidence, so both the Detroit police and the prosecution were running with super efficiency, and the public, especially the members of the North American Auto Workers Association, were in an uproar in the face of this news......
"At least tens of millions of dollars are smuggled by those union bastards in various ways every year?"
"What? The union costs more than $200 for a coffee cup?!"
"An average chair in the conference room costs more than $1,000?!"
"What's the deal with this $2 million a year consulting fee with Pan American Consulting in New York......
..................
Seeing the information released by the police through the media, the people and the members of the North American Auto Workers Association were collectively outraged, and they couldn't believe that the union they had always trusted so much had embezzled their own money, and a coffee cup cost more than $200?
Well, compared with the times when the Pentagon spent more than $1,500 on a coffee cup a few years later, it can only be said that the North American Auto Workers Association is still very "frugal" in terms of corruption.
Almost overnight, the reputation of the North American Auto Workers Association was completely discredited, so much so that in less than a week, more than 50,000 members quit the North American Automobile Workers Association — and in this case, no one cares about talking to management about salary increases or the like.
The reporters who knew that Chen Geng would definitely leave through the VIP channel were very smart not to wait for Chen Geng at the airport, but to guard at the gate of Chen Geng's manor, and immediately stopped in front of the convoy when they saw the convoy returning slowly......
"Mr. Fernandez, what do you think of the high-level collective corruption case of the North American Auto Workers Association?"
"Mr. Fernández, how was your visit, will you really build a factory in Mexico or Canada?"
"Mr. Fernandez, do you admit that this collective corruption case of the North American Auto Workers Association is your act of revenge?"
"Mr. Fernández, how far will you ......"
............
The voice from outside came in clearly, and Leilani Taylor pursed her lips and asked Chen Geng for instructions: "Boss, what do you think these reporters should do?"
"Leave them alone...... Forget it," Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "Stop the car." ”
"Parking?" Leilani Taylor was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "You want to be interviewed by reporters?"
"Well," Chen Geng nodded in response, "There are some not-so-good voices now, it's better for me to talk about it." ”
Now there are indeed some not very good voices outside, such as Chen Geng's revenge on the North American Automobile Workers Association this time, although this voice is not loud, but it is not too small, after all, the existence of the union is politically correct, isn't it?
Seeing her boss say this, Leilani Taylor whispered, "Then I'll arrange it." ”
Seeing Leilani Taylor get out of the car, the reporters became excited: Mr. Fernandez Chen, is this ready to be interviewed by us?
To tell the truth, don't look at the reporters waiting here, but before Leilani Taylor got out of the car, no one was sure whether Chen Geng would be interviewed.
"Mr. Fernandez said that he knows what questions people want to ask," Raylani Taylor said lightly in front of the excited media reporters, "The boss will explain his views and positions on the issues that everyone is concerned about, and will also answer some of everyone's questions, but only for ten minutes." ”
10 minutes?
Although there is a lot of time, it is enough, before this, no one thought that Chen Geng would get out of the car to accept his interview, but it was good.
For the press conference, the manor is no stranger, and even the manor has the corresponding equipment, and soon, the manor sent the equipment over and installed it, Chen Geng turned the microphone and said: " I know what you want to say, let me first explain that I have always respected and admired the trade unions, because the existence of trade unions has safeguarded the interests of workers and played a huge role in implementing the spirit of freedom and democracy in the United States, but I must also explain that I think that after so many years of barbaric and disorderly development, some trade unions have degenerated, and these trade unions have gradually changed from the existence of safeguarding the interests of employees in their own industry to tools for the interests of a small number of people!"
Speaking of this, Chen Geng's expression became serious: " For example, no one can deny that their existence has played a huge positive role in improving the living conditions of workers in the North American automobile industry, but at the same time, through the collective corruption of the North American Automobile Workers Association, we should also see that because no one supervises the labor union, there has been collective corruption at the top of the North American Automobile Workers Association, which is very sad At the same time, it also shows that rights must be regulated, because absolute rights lead to absolute corruption!
So I think that trade unions must exist, but the management of the trade unions must also supervise them, so that the trade unions can better serve the interests of the workers. ”
it!
Regulating trade unions?
Chen Geng's stance and attitude surprised the reporters, and many reporters secretly applauded.
To tell the truth, after the North American Auto Workers Association broke out about the high-level collective corruption, although some other unions that were afraid of harming the pond fish were desperately trying to do public relations, it was not that no one muttered: There will be collective corruption in the auto workers' unions, will our unions not have this situation?
The same is true of the journalists' union, which has even communicated privately and feels that there will inevitably be corruption in their own unions, and I am afraid that there are still a lot of them, and if it is really as Mr. Fernández Chen said, it is also a good thing to supervise the unions, at least worthy of the monthly dues, right?
Everyone's attention was shocked by Chen Geng's argument that "the management of the union must be supervised to avoid a situation similar to the collective corruption time of the top of the North American Auto Workers Association", so that many of the questions they wanted to ask were left behind, and a reporter asked loudly: "Mr. Fernandez, I am from Fox TV, I want to ask, how do you think the rights of the union management can be regulated?"
Chen Gengcai would not be fooled by this, he glanced at the reporter and said: "Of course, in the form of legislation. ”
"Do you want Congress to pass a law on union regulation?"
"I repeat, it is a law that regulates the management of the trade unions, not the laws that regulate the trade unions," how could Chen Geng be fooled by this? The existence of the trade union is politically correct, but if it is aimed at the management of the trade union, it is aimed at the individual, and it is not a problem for the individual, and in the United States, the suspicion of the political elite is itself a kind of political correctness: "As far as I know, the United States does not seem to have a law that regulates the management of the trade union, but speaking of which, I have an idea......
Speaking of this, Chen Geng paused.
I don't know why, looking at Chen Geng, who stopped, the reporters present suddenly had a feeling of "something bad will happen next".
A reporter whispered: "I think ......"
"What?"
"Something terrible is going to happen......"
"What's terrible?"
"It's ......"
Before the reporter could finish speaking, Chen Geng said loudly: "I announce that after I take office, I will push the city council to legislate to effectively supervise the management of trade union organizations registered in Detroit and operating in Detroit, so as to avoid the recurrence of the collective corruption case similar to the North American Automobile Workers Association to the greatest extent, and to protect the legitimate rights and interests of trade union members to the greatest extent, after all, every penny of the union comes from the dues paid by the union members......
Rumble!
Before Chen Geng's words were finished, the reporters immediately exploded: Mr. Fernández actually wants to promote legislation and supervise the management of the trade union in the form of legislation?!
But soon, the reporters became excited, ah, maybe it can really work!
Yes, Chen Geng is only the prospective mayor of Detroit, but as long as he is the mayor, he has the right to promote legislation, and the most important thing is that this legislation is promoted in the name of "preventing corruption", and no one dares to make a fool of this kind of thing, which means that this legislation is estimated to be completed in two or three years.
Although the scope of application of this law or ordinance is limited to Detroit, any organization operating in the Detroit area is also subject to the regulation of this law or ordinance...... Anyway, where is the place of registration of our journalists' union?
At this moment, many journalists began to wonder where their unions were registered: if our journalists' union was also registered in Detroit, then those fat-headed union management would not have a good time, really...... Why do I feel so happy to see those guys with fat brains trembling and pale?
