The workers' strike in the AMC began, and Jack Welch, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the thousands of workers under the organization and leadership of the trade union, shouting slogans, holding banners, and waving their fists excitedly, and then looked at the reporters with excited expressions like picking up a big wallet, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Listening to their slogans, those who don't know think that AMC is a black-hearted factory that has gone home and desperately made workers work in vain and black, but does not pay workers." ”

Although American society is like an oversized broken sieve, although it has not yet begun, it is no secret in the industry that the workers of AMC are going to strike, and how can the media endure hearing this news? In the United States, workers' strikes have always been the only weapon to increase ratings and increase newspaper sales.

Compared with Jack Welch, the expression of the secretary sitting in the passenger seat was not so relaxed: "Boss, big boss...... Is that really okay?"

"What's the problem?" Jack Welch said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the boss is ready to lose 100 million." ”

"Loss...... Loss of 100 million?!" The secretary's voice became much sharper.

"yes," Jack Welch nodded: "The boss said that he hasn't figured out how to spend the money he earned on Thinkcenter for a while, so let's take it over to make up for the hole on our side first." ”

"That'...... Isn't the idea that the union is planning to threaten the boss with a strike?" the secretary covered his mouth in surprise.

As Jack Welch's secretary, he is no stranger to the company's operating costs, with the current scale of AMC, even if it is suspended for half a year, AMC's total loss is about 100 million US dollars, since the big boss is ready, that is, the big boss is ready to use half a year to make these workers succumb?

Also!

According to the relevant labor laws and regulations of the United States, if there is a strike between labor and management because of wage issues, the management does not have to pay a penny of wages and subsidies to the workers, and the reason why the workers dare to demand better wages and benefits from the management through strikes is that on the one hand, they can get subsidies from the union during the strike, and on the other hand, because the management cannot afford the workers to strike for a long time...... This "long time" is usually no more than a month...... and take the initiative to give in to the workers.

However, looking at the general strike of workers in the automobile industry in the United States, there has never been a strike that lasted for more than three months, and the reason is very simple: Although the losses of the capitalists will be huge, the workers also need to eat, right? It is true that the union can subsidize the workers during the strike, but how many workers can the money in the hands of the union subsidize? How many times can it be subsidized?

Don't forget, the monthly dues paid by workers to the trade unions are only equivalent to 6% of their monthly salary, and these 6% not only have to support the union's leaders and negotiators and lawyers who are "out of work" with high salaries, but also need to feed the media, politicians, and trade unions who speak for them.

Jack Welch didn't speak, just shrugged his shoulders: Why is he willing to fully support the boss's decision? Isn't it because the boss's determination to fight against the union is real money?

On the other hand, for any senior professional manager who gets an annual salary plus dividends, the striking workers and the like are the most annoying, and these bastards directly affect my income.

With Jack Welch's promise, the secretary looked at the marching workers outside and immediately gloated: Hahaha...... Lao Tzu, look at it, are you still proud after a month?!

........................

Not surprisingly, the general strike of the workers in the AMC quickly became the headline news in the United States, and the major television, radio, newspapers and other media began to report on it one after another, and the politicians of the Democratic Party and the left-wing media of course adhered to their consistent position and criticized AMC and Chen Geng: No matter what the reason for this strike is, anyway, the workers are on strike and demand a wage increase, which means that you hateful capitalists are paying less wages and poor welfare benefits, and this is your fault!

In contrast to the Democratic Party and the left-wing media, it is naturally the Republican Party and the right-wing media, who stand up for Chen Geng and AMC, saying that AMC has taken the initiative to raise wages for workers three times this year, but you see, what if you take the initiative to raise wages for workers? Workers are a group of white-eyed wolves who have milk and are mothers......

And the FOX news station, which is the banner of the right-wing media, is certainly not lagging behind, and they even brought in Jack Welch, the CEO of AMC Motors.

"In fact, it's not that we are unwilling to raise workers' wages, our AMC is the only company in the automotive industry that has taken the initiative to raise workers' wages, and this year, AMC has taken the initiative to raise workers' hourly wages and benefits three times," Speaking of this, Jack Welch raised three fingers and said seriously: "Three consecutive salary increases for workers in half a year, you know, this is also unique in the history of the development of the American automobile industry." ”

"Really, are you sure?" the beautiful hostess's eyes widened in surprise in cooperation.

"Of course, I'm telling the truth," Jack Welch nodded seriously at the camera, "I know what I'm saying will definitely be broadcast on your FOX News, and if I lie, it's in front of hundreds of millions of Americans...... Can you imagine that kind of thing?"

In this sentence, Jack Welch also took a small handful of FOX TV - FOX TV has an audience of not as many as hundreds of millions of people.

The hostess cooperated with a horrified expression: "God, I really can't imagine what a bad result that would be!"

"No one is going to be in front of the beautiful hostess," Jack Welch said: "In fact, the wages of AMC workers are definitely not low, and the monthly salary of our ordinary workers has reached $1284.8. ”

"Is this salary level very high?" the host asked cooperatively.

"This level of income ...... Let me say so," Jack Welch thought for a moment and asked the hostess, "Do you know what the average American industrial worker was paid last year?"

"I ......" The hostess frowned and thought for a moment very cooperatively, and finally gave up helplessly: "Forgive me, I really don't know, Mr. Welch, can you tell me how much?"

"Of course, it's $936. ”

"So low?" the hostess was visibly surprised.

Also, as the host of FOX News Station, as a well-known host of FOX News Station, her salary, subsidies, etc., add up, more than 12,000 US dollars per month, which can be regarded as a middle and senior middle class, naturally, I am particularly surprised that the monthly salary of ordinary people is less than one-twelfth of their own.

"Well, that's it, you can go to the statistics department to check the relevant data, or you can ask the salaries of the ordinary employees in your station...... Of course, your industry is more special, and the salary of ordinary employees is probably slightly higher, so ...... Well, $1,100, I think your average employee should be paid no more than $1,100, and our workers' income, 37.26% higher than the average salary, almost 40% higher than the average, I think this salary level is very much a reflection of the importance we attach to workers, but the union side is asking for workers to double their hourly wages and increase their benefits by about 50%......"

Before Jack Welch could finish speaking, the hostess covered her mouth in surprise and interrupted him: "Mr. Welch, are you sure you're right?"

"Huh?" said Jack Welch, with a confused expression.

"I mean, are you sure you're not wrong about the union's request?" The hostess looked incredulous: "You just said that the union's request is to double the hourly wage and increase the welfare package by 50%?" Are you sure you don't have a 10% increase in hourly wages and a 5% increase in welfare benefits?"

Of course, she knew about the demands put forward by the AMC Auto Workers Union, but the effect of the show, how could it reflect how ridiculous the demands and conditions put forward by the AMC Auto Workers Union were?

"I knew you would have such doubts," Jack Welch was prepared, and opened the folder in front of him, "I specially brought a copy of the official letter sent to us by the union, ...... You see, this is it......

When we received this letter, we were extremely suspicious that they had made a mistake, so we sent a letter to the union, and then they replied again...... You see, here, they make it clear that they are not wrong, that is, 100% per hour......"

"God, it's true!" The hostess glanced at the two official letters, and then made an extremely exaggerated expression: "Benefits...... The terms are so complicated that I'm not sure if it's a 50% increase, but the requirement for an hourly rate is really doubled...... Mr. videographer, trouble gave a close-up...... God, I've never had anything like this before, and I can now somewhat understand why Mr. Fernández didn't agree to the union's demands, because there was no way to agree......"

Accompanied by a close-up, the audience in front of the camera can see clearly that the official letter is indeed written in black and white with the union's demand: an 100% increase in hourly wages.

"You can calculate what kind of salary level this is, and such a requirement makes it difficult for us to believe that the union is really trying to increase the income of workers," said Jack Welch, who spread his hands and looked helpless: "And frankly, I have never encountered such a ridiculous request in all my years in the industry, and I believe that no company has encountered such an excessive demand." ”
