Chapter 1147: The union also has smart people
yes, our union is not very qualified......
This voice made many workers bow their heads: Compared with the AMC Auto Workers Association, our North American Auto Workers Association is indeed a big step behind.
"We ......"
The man who spoke had a sad voice in his voice, but as soon as he started, he was interrupted: "What can we do? Could it be that we can still strike and protest?"
Well, this person is familiar to everyone, it is Edward Pilson of this workshop, a strong and enthusiastic young man, who has been in the workshop for more than a year, is very diligent, often helps everyone with some small favors, and everyone likes him very much.
Edward Pilson said loudly: "Gentlemen, in the past, it was the union that led us to strike and confront the management, but this time, we have no way to strike and march, if we do this, won't it be a trap for the manufacturers who take the initiative to give us a disguised salary increase?"
That's true.
The workers agreed, everyone had a scale in their hearts, and felt that what Edward Pilson said could not be more correct: this time there is no way to strike, otherwise it is indeed sorry for the management who took the initiative to give everyone a raise.
"But if we don't do something, we're really uncomfortable," Edward Pilson continued, "and I have an idea......
"Edward, what do you think?" Before Edward Pilson's words could be finished, the workers on the side immediately shouted, "Let's hear it." ”
"Yes, Edward, speak your mind. ”
"If your solution is good, let's do what you think. ”
............
The workers were excited.
In a situation where there is no good thing to do, if Edward Pilson can give you a good advice, everyone will not mind following his method.
"Okay," Edward Pilson did not hesitate, and said loudly: "Let's write a petition, all of them sign, mainly three requirements: one is to require the union to accept supervision, but to ask the union to subsidize part of our dues in the form of lunch subsidies, and the third is to ask the union to reduce the standard of membership fees from the current 5% to 4%, on these three requirements, if the union does not agree, we will withdraw from the union, what do you think?"
There was some concurrence......
"It's a good idea. ”
"I think so. ”
Concerns were also expressed......
"There's no way the union can agree, right?"
"What if the union doesn't agree?"
"If the union doesn't agree, will it be possible that we will really withdraw from the union?"
............
As soon as this question came out, the workers looked at Edward Pilson: yes, could it be that we really quit the union?
For the workers, their feelings about the union are very complicated, but in general they still think that the union provides them with support and backing, and thinks that if there is no union, they will never get such a high salary, and now Edward Pilson has actually said that he wants to quit the union, and the workers' hearts are suddenly a little panicked: Yes, if the workers do not agree, is it possible that we really withdraw from the union?
"If the union doesn't agree to ......"
Edward Pilson said slowly, "It's a big deal, let's re-register a union ourselves!"
What the?!
As soon as Edward Pilson's words came out, all the workers on the scene were shaken: Let's re-register a union ourselves......?!
"That's right, it's to re-register a union," Edward Pilson said loudly: "When the time comes, we will all be union members, and then elect the heads of the relevant agencies of the union, and then all the procedures of the union will be in accordance with the constitution of the AMC union, such as the membership fee is only 3% of the monthly salary, and then take out a part of the subsidy to everyone's buffet lunch, and at the same time declare that the management is subject to supervision, what do you think?"
What do you think?
Workers who had never thought of registering a union before were immediately moved: if they re-registered a union...... It doesn't seem impossible.
Think about it, the current membership fee is 5% of the monthly salary, the new union is 3% of the monthly salary, and a part of the subsidy will be taken out into the buffet lunch, inside and out, which is equivalent to only paying about 2% of the membership fee, compared to the current 5%, this is dozens of dollars, a month is not much, but a year is hundreds of dollars, if you save it, it is enough to buy Christmas gifts for the family at the end of the year......
As soon as they thought of this, the workers were immediately a little moved: this is ...... Seems like it can really be considered?
Looking at the workers who looked at each other and the expressions on their faces were obviously moved, Edward Bilson's heart that had been carrying it was finally secretly relieved: Mr. Michel April's trick is really powerful!
....................................
As one of the largest trade unions in the United States, the North American Auto Workers Association is definitely not bad at perceiving danger, thanks to the advanced means of communication, when Edward Pilson was still agitating the workers to quit the union, the top management of the North American Automobile Workers Association already knew the news.
When I heard that some people were encouraging workers to quit the union and re-establish the union, the core management of the union, which had been ignoring the demands of the industrial workers of the major automobile factories, panicked......
"Mr. President, this time...... I really can't ignore it," Stuart Semington looked at Marion Talbot, the president of the union, with a panicked expression, "If we re-register and form a new union after those guys at Ford really quit the union, we ...... Let's ......"
Stuart Semington's voice trembled!
Osk Chapman, Thomas Johnson and other core executives of the North American Auto Workers Association all understand what Stuart Symmington meant: the withdrawal of workers some time ago is not terrible, why have so many workers withdrawn during this time, and the North American Auto Workers Association has been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai? It is because everyone knows very well that even if these workers quit the union, the inertia over the years will make them habitually find a new union to join, but in the automotive industry, the largest trade union organization is the North American Automobile Workers Association, in addition to the North American Automobile Workers Association, they cannot find other reliable trade union organizations to rely on, so it is doomed that these workers who quit the union will have to come back honestly after a period of time - such examples, we have seen too many such examples.
But this time it was different, if the kid named Edward Pilson really made a union, even if it was just a "small" union with only a few thousand people, these workers would not be able to return to the North American Association of Automobile Workers, and the power of the North American Association of Automobile Workers would be gradually weakened.
And as long as the damn capitalists aren't stupid and give Edward Pilson's kid some support, such as his union's workers' month-end pay cut of $100 more than the other workers' month-end bonuses, more and more members of their own union will join Edward Pilson's boy's union.
And that's not the most terrible thing, but what if other smart people follow the example of Edward Pilson's kid and pull a group of workers out and register a union of their own?
Those capitalists are so clever that when they see this trick, will they secretly support a person as the head of the trade union?
Thinking of these possibilities, the executives in the room turned pale!
Previously, when the Detroit Police Department raided and searched, everyone was not afraid;
When Fernandez Chen, the bastard, publicly stated that he would put the union's core management under control, everyone was not afraid;
When many media began to condemn several of them, everyone was still not afraid;
But at this moment, they are afraid, damn Edward Pilson, this bastard is digging his own roots!
What to do?
Everyone's eyes fell on Marion Talbot - you're the boss, it's time for you, you have to think of a way quickly.
"There's no rush on this matter, we still have time to ......"
Under the expectation and anxious gaze of everyone, Marion Talbot spoke, can sit firmly in the North American Auto Workers Association, with more than 600,000 members, one of the largest trade union organizations in the United States of union chairman, Marion Talbot is certainly not incompetent, and even Stuart Seedington, Oscar Chapman, Thomas Johnson and other incompetent fools can be in high positions, he can also arrange: If a group of smart people come up, can Lao Tzu still sit firmly in the position of union chairman?
Stuart Symmington and several of Marion Talbot's loyal subordinates were suddenly relieved: the boss has a way, and that's great.
After a slight pause, Marion Talbot continued: "In the final analysis, don't those workers just want us to take a step back, so to speak, on issues that are not related to our core interests, then let's take a step back, how big is that?"
Hey?
That's right!
A group of trade union bigwigs reacted at once: Yes, in the final analysis, don't the workers just ask us to take a step back? In that case, then let's just take a step back, just like the leader said, where the core interests of the trade unions are not concerned, take a step back.
What are Core Benefits?
It is not allowed to supervise the management of the trade union, this is the core interest, and this core interest must not be touched, as for the others, such as the union taking out part of the money to subsidize the workers' lunch, although it will indeed make people feel distressed to take out the money, but no matter how distressed, as long as it does not harm the union...... That is, these people...... As for money, as long as you sit firmly in this chair, there will always be a way to earn it in the future.
Thinking about this layer, a group of people suddenly smiled, and all kinds of sycophants hit Marion Talbot like a tide.
