Chapter 1143: Gathering People's Hearts: Up
Chen Geng thought about it and felt that this was not enough to ensure that Michelle Β· When W. April was elected, he groaned for a moment and said, "Well, you go back and tell the workers that with your active efforts, the company will open a cafeteria, and each worker will only need to pay $100 million a day, and he will always be fed." β
"A dollar buffet?" W. Appleden's eyes widened.
In the U.S. industry, there is no precedent for providing workers with free lunches, as for why not provide it, take AMC cars as an example, AMC cars have more than 60,000 front-line production employees in North America, based on the fact that unnamed workers need $1.5 per meal and 45,000 workers need to solve the problem of food every day, it is $6.75 a day, excluding holidays, and the help for a year will be more than $20 million.
More than 20 million US dollars, who subsidizes this?
Not to mention that it takes money to build a restaurant, and the chefs and helpers needed to keep a restaurant running.
Therefore, in the United States, basically no industrial workers can enjoy the free lunch provided by enterprises, and everyone can see in many American film and television dramas that ordinary families in the United States, especially workers engaged in production positions, bring food from home to the company when they go out in the morning, which is not an exaggeration, this is true.
Michelle S. W. Apple, who had never heard of a company offering a one-dollar buffet to its workers, cautiously asked, "One dollar...... You need to subsidize a lot of money into it, right?"
"Subsidies definitely need to be subsidized," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "But who made you the one I chose." β
Michelle S. W. April's eyes were a little red: "Boss, I ......"
"Needless to say, just work hard in the future," Chen Geng waved his hand and said, "You tell the workers that these are what you have worked hard for them, although it is only one dollar, but the company guarantees that there will be meat and vegetables, and that everyone will be fed."
In addition, in addition to themselves, if it is a weekend, they can also bring their children under the age of 12 to the restaurant to take care of, the children do not need money to eat, the restaurant will make a small children's playground, and hire two people to help take care of the children.
Of course, for safety reasons, they need to sign a waiver agreement with the company, promising that they won't bother the company if the children are messing around here and something goes wrong......"
β......β
Michelle S. W. April was even more moved: Boss even thought of some workers who were inconvenient to take care of the children on weekends, and provided free lunches for the children?
"Standard of payment...... Hmm," Chen Geng thought for a while: "Don't want a dollar, $0.99, or $0.9, you can look at it and tell the workers, it's okay, and the company will subsidize the remaining part of the insufficiency, so be it......"
The difference between one dollar and $0.99 is huge, just like on Double 11, something is priced at 998 or 999, which will imply that this thing is less than 1,000 yuan, and it belongs to something that can be bought for a few hundred dollars, and the same is true for $0.99 or $0.9, although it is a few cents different from a dollar, but it will give a feeling of "I only paid a little money, and the rest is provided by the company".
"Okay. "Michelle M. W. April nodded repeatedly.
"There is another thing," Chen Geng said again, "that is, your union must promise to accept supervision......
........................
The workers of AMC Motors are accustomed to having a drink or two in the bar outside the company after work and bragging with their colleagues before leaving, and it is the same today, and the workers gathered in the bar are also accustomed to discussing the union this time, such as who to elect as the union chairman......
"Tom, who are you going to elect as president in this union re-election? Michael or Michelle?"
"I'm a little unsure," Tom said, "At first, I was going to choose Michael, Michelle's guy is just a fool, but you know, Michael's guy is from the North American Auto Workers Association, those bastards make me sick, I'd rather donate the money to the welfare home than give the money to those greedy fools, as for Michelle's stupid, he is not so greedy after all......"
During this period of time, thanks to Chen Geng, the reputation of the North American Auto Workers Association is a bad street in Detroit, as long as it is an auto worker, when it comes to the North American Auto Workers Association, they will spit twice.
"yes, that's what I thought, if only that Michelle guy could be a little smarter, at least help us get some more benefits. β
"That can't be said, if that fool Michelle is smart, maybe he'll find a way to put our dues in his own pocket?" Someone next to him interjected: "If that's the case, I'd rather let a fool sit on it, at least he won't be greedy for Lao Tzu's money, and he won't make the situation worse." β
This argument made the workers can't help but look at each other, but soon, everyone felt that there seemed to be some truth......
"Huh......"
"That's right. β
"Seems to make sense......"
"That's right, instead of picking a guy who doesn't know if it's good or bad, it's better to let this guy Michelle continue to do it. β
In the absence of a better option, let Michelle M. It doesn't seem a bad thing for W. April, the current union president, to continue to work, as Molson said, at least Michelle Brown. W. April is not going to be greedy for our dues, nor is he going to make the situation worse.
Some people also sighed: "It would be better if Michelle could fight for some benefits for us......"
Just when someone muttered that if Michelle When W. April was able to get some benefits for the workers, a voice suddenly interjected: "Benefits? Of course, I won it for everyone." "Housekeeper
Who?
The workers who heard the voice hurriedly looked up, well, it was not their current union president, Michelle Brown. And who is Mr. W. Apple?
"Michelle?"
"Why is this guy?"
Looking at Michelle J. who suddenly walked in, W. Apple, a group of workers who were holding beer glasses and taking sipes from time to time, were suddenly a little stunned.
"Gentlemen, what are you all looking at me like that?" W. April, now full of confidence, smiled and said, "Is there a flower on my face?"
Someone spoke: "Michelle, this is where we workers stay, what are you doing here?"
"Why can't I come?" W. April smiled: "Don't forget that I am the president of the union. β
"You union guys don't have a good thing. I don't know who it is, I said coldly in the corner.
There was certainly no kindness in the words, but Michelle M. W. April was not annoyed, and still smiled: "Gentlemen, the membership fee of our union is only 1.5%, even if I want to embezzle, how much money will be left after the daily operation of the union is removed?"
Belch......
Now, a room full of unbelievable workers were speechless: yes, in Michelle Brown. Under the leadership of W. April, the membership fee of the AMC Auto Workers Association is only 1.5% of the salary, while the membership fee of the North American Auto Workers Association is 5% of the salary, which is not only a difference of dozens of dollars per month, but also in fact smooths out the income gap between AMC workers and workers of other car companies.
In addition, just like Michelle M. With only 1.5 percent of the dues, how much is left after deducting the union's day-to-day operating costs?
"Michelle," someone shouted, "you just said that you fought for us, what did you fight for? Did you get us a raise?"
That's right!
Hearing this voice, the workers reacted: just when Michelle When this guy W. April first came in, he said that he fought for the big guys, so the question is, what did he fight for us? Will it be a raise?
For a moment, the workers suddenly became excited.
No matter how much everyone looked down on Michelle M. W. April, no matter how much he is also the chairman of his own trade union, still has some extravagant expectations for him - just like in China, no matter how much the people scold the officials, but when they encounter problems, they still hope that the officials can stand up first, the same reason.
Michelle S. W. April enjoyed the feeling and nodded with a smile: "I know what kind of answer you want, sorry, there is no raise......"
"Cut!"
"Vako!"
"Waste Lao Tzu's feelings!"
............
Michelle S. Before W. April could finish his sentence, the disappointed workers immediately scolded - but they weren't too disappointed, and they didn't have much hope, did they?
"However, although I couldn't get the company to give you a raise, I still got a benefit for everyone," said Michelle J. W. April paused deliberately, seeing that the workers couldn't help but prick up their ears, and then continued: "With my efforts, Mr. FernΓ‘ndez agreed that if the union is re-elected this time, everyone will still choose me, and the company will provide everyone with a buffet lunch at noon every day, and each person only needs to pay $0.99." β
"What?!"
"The company offers a buffet lunch?"
"Only $0.99?!"
"God......
............
The workers instantly forgot about the question they had just given to Michelle M. W. Eppel's hostility was discussed.
They are all workers, everyone's income is about the same, and the way to solve lunch every day is naturally the same, basically bringing food from home and then heating it up with the free microwave provided by the company, everyone has come over the years, and even not only the workers of AMC Motors, but also the workers of Ford Motors, Chrysler Motors, and General Motors.
Even not only the automotive industry, but all other front-line workers in the industry, lunch is solved in this way, but now, the company is going to provide lunch for everyone?!
