"Union ...... They believe that the management is bluffing and that they are using this to put pressure on the union side for the next negotiations. ”

"It seems to make some sense......

"You can't say that, our salary is higher than that of our counterparts, this is a fact, right?"

"What if it's true? Are you willing to accept the same salary as your peers?"

"Uh...... I don't want to ......"

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

In fact, although the media did not speak for the management during this time, after such a long period of continuous reports, the workers also roughly formed a " Because the wages of workers in the automobile industry in the United States are higher than those of workers in the automobile industry, the manufacturing cost of automobiles in the United States is higher than that of Tungying automobiles; because the manufacturing cost is higher, the market competitiveness of American automobiles is not as good as that of Orienting Automobiles; because the competitiveness of American automobiles is not as good as that of Orienting Automobiles, the market share of American automobiles is declining year by year; and the market share of Orienting Automobiles is increasing year by year, making the cost of Orienting Automobiles lower. The competitiveness is stronger, and if it continues like this, it will damage the interests of the workers in the American auto industry, because with the continuous increase in the market share of Dongying Automobile, one day, these American auto brands will be squeezed out of business."

But it's one thing to understand this logic, and it's impossible to get workers to give up their own interests: why should I get more than $1,100 when everyone else is paid more than $1,300 a month? Not to mention more than $1,100, not even $1,200!

After a moment of silence, someone finally asked, "So what are we going to do next?"

"Look at the union," after another long silence, someone finally said, "Look at the attitude of the union." ”

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

The workers waited for the unions, and the unions were actually a little waxy.

On the one hand, the unions gained an advantage in the dialogue with the management by virtue of their control over the workers and the legal right to organize workers' strikes, but on the other hand, the reports during this period of time also had some impact on the unions, so much so that there were some disagreements within the North American Auto Workers Association about the campaign to get raises and benefits for the workers. , and even a fierce conflict broke out......

"I think the difficulties of management are real, and as it says on TV and in the newspapers, we have the highest salaries in the industry," Oscar Chapman, one of the vice presidents of the North American Auto Workers' Association, once again elaborated on his point: "The point is that the whole of America and the whole world is watching this, and I think this is an opportunity to show the world that we are the image of the North American Automobile Workers Association, and in this case, I think we can abandon this raise, or reduce the magnitude of the raise." ”

"I don't agree with you," Oscar Chapman's words soon fell, and Stuart Semington, who is also one of the vice presidents of the North American Association of Automobile Workers, immediately objected: "I agree that this is an opportunity to show the world that we at the North American Automotive Workers Association, but it is precisely because of this that we should not back down, and we will show the world how we at the North American Automobile Workers Association are working hard to advocate for the interests of the workers under difficult circumstances...... Don't forget, we are always a trade union, and getting better wages and benefits for our worker members is fundamental to our existence!"

As soon as Stuart Symington finished speaking, Oscar Chapman immediately asked, "But now, the whole United States and the whole world are watching us......

"So what?" In the face of Oscar Chapman's persecution, Stuart Semington did not give in at all: "I even doubt that the media reports during this period of time will be a conspiracy of the capitalists, they are selling miserably in this way, and using this way to avoid this salary increase!"

"Huh?!"

"Huh?!"

Stuart Symington's words made the other senior executives of the North American Auto Workers Association in the room suddenly startled.

Does this make sense?

It's so reasonable, don't look at the capitalists and their doglegs bouncing so happily in the media, but who can guarantee that this is not a conspiracy of theirs?

As for the purpose of the conspiracy, this is not lice on the bald man's head - is it obvious, he just does not want to give the workers a raise!

And if the deal doesn't come to terms with the wage increase, what will the workers' members who give 5% of their monthly wages to the union think of the North American Auto Workers Association?

Incompetence, of course!

Not only incompetent, but also stupid, nothing but money!

Some people even drew inferences from one another, and suddenly realized: "It's not impossible, if this incident is really a conspiracy of the capitalists, and we accidentally fall for it, then those capitalists are likely to continue to use this trick in the future, and then our union will become a big joke." ”

Osk Chapman opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

At this point, if he still stands in the position of the capital, then he is a traitor to the capital, which can only mean that he was bought by the capital, and he can't afford to carry this pot.

He spun around his head and asked the question, "Well, this may exist, but the question is how do we respond? How does this response work?"

This is a problem, even if this incident is really a conspiracy of the management, but how to respond is also skillful, when the management has already publicized its difficulties through the media and the whole world knows...... And this difficulty is also real and investigated...... The trade unions should not be foolish enough to say that we will not give up on this wage increase, because we think it is a conspiracy by the capitalists to resist giving the workers a wage increase.

Although everyone knows that this is very likely to be a conspiracy, how can it be? The American auto industry has given the auto industry workers the highest wage level in the world in the same industry, which is always true, right? Now that the management is being forced by you to prepare to build factories abroad to reduce costs, you still refuse to give up this salary increase?

It doesn't make sense.

There has to be a strong enough argument that is convincing enough to be able to convince the public.

This time, even Stuart Semington stopped talking, because he also understood that what Oscar Chapman said was true, and that unions could continue to demand raises, but only for a strong enough reason.

"Talk to our partners," said Thomas Johnson, the vice chairman, who had not spoken much until now, "and we pay so much for consulting every year, don't we just let them help us when we get into trouble." ”

That's right!

Thomas Johnson's words made many people pat their heads: How did you forget this?

After decades of development, the North American Auto Workers Association, with more than 500,000 members, is not an inconspicuous small point, but a behemoth that collects almost $400 million in annual membership fees, $400 million, which is a huge amount of money.

Under normal circumstances, in addition to the union's own use and reserves, there is a significant surplus.

In order to ensure that this large amount of money can be reasonably and legally used every year, the top management of the union, in addition to registering some companies to reap their own benefits, they are also active in various election campaigns, such as the presidential campaign, the election of a member of the House and Senate, the election of governors of various states, and even the mayoral campaign below, the presence of the North American Auto Workers Association and their political contributions to candidates.

As an added note, the Auto Workers Association of North America has made as many political donations to politicians as it does to another big dog: the National Rifle Association.

In addition, the North American Auto Workers Association has partnered with a number of think tanks in the United States to ensure its voice and influence, as well as to ensure that it does not make fatal mistakes, and now is the time for those think tanks to provide effective advice to the North American Auto Workers' Association.
