Chapter 528 Can't Let General Sense Leave
John Smith came to Purple Star Manor with a lot of worries, left in high spirits, and with Wednesday Prison Company, he was now full of confidence, and he wished that all the workers would strike, so that he could move the factory to Alaska.
Immediately after returning to Detroit, John Smith called David Mathers, the head of the UAW.
"Smith told us to go to his office. ”
David Mathers hung up John Smith and called Paul Hartley, the guild president, into his office.
"It seems that he can't bear it anymore and is ready to compromise!"
Paul Hartley and David Mathers looked at each other and laughed, these car companies were tough at the beginning, but they would soften in a few days, and the loss of tens of millions of dollars a day was not something anyone could bear.
"Let's go, let's meet the president!"
David Mathers stepped out from behind his desk, put on his suit and walked out of the office with Paul Hartley in high spirits.
Arriving at General Motors and parking their cars in the parking lot, David Mathers and Paul Hartley walked into the office building, explained their intentions to the front desk, and the two took the elevator to the floor where John Smith's office was located.
"Hello President Smith!"
Upon entering the office, David Mathers and Paul Hartley greeted John Smith with a smile on their faces.
"Hello President Hartley!"
"Hello President Matthes!"
"You may be seated!"
John Smith very politely invited the two to sit down, and asked the secretary to bring two cups of coffee.
John Smith hates these two guys in front of him very much, and he can't wait to eat their flesh and skin them, and GM's loss of tens of millions of dollars a day is all due to these two people, but when he enters the door, he is a guest, and John Smith still has this cultivation.
"President Smith, did you agree to our request?" David Mathers took a sip of coffee proudly, and was very satisfied when he saw the president of a Fortune 500 company bowing his head.
"I'm sorry President Matthers, but you may be disappointed!" John Smith sneered as he looked at David Matthers. "I invite you to come this time to officially inform you that GM will not increase any wages and benefits, and the contract will remain ...... status quo. ”
"I'm sorry, President Smith, we can't agree to such a condition!" Paul Hartley interrupted John Smith very rudely.
"It doesn't matter, the cooperation is supposed to be based on the premise that both parties are willing, since you don't agree with us and we are not reluctant, then I will officially inform you here, the negotiations between General Motors Group and you are over, we will permanently close these six striking factories, and the members of your union will no longer have to go to work!" John Smith smiled and took a sip of coffee under the surprised eyes of Paul Hartley and David Mathers.
He has compromised every time he has negotiated for so many years, and now he can finally raise his eyebrows once!
"President Smith, do you know the consequences of this? If you do, we'll notify all members to strike, and your GM factory won't want to produce a car in the future!" Paul Hartley threatened.
John Smith put down his coffee cup when he heard Paul Hartley's threat, and applauded. "You are very welcome to strike, I will close one of you, I will shut down all of you, I will lose 10 billion dollars, and then move the factory. ”
"President Smith, there's no need to do this! David Mathers sang with a white face.
"I don't want to do that, but you're too greedy. Having said that, John Smith didn't hesitate either. "Tell you clearly, I will issue a notice later, informing all employees that if they want to work at GM, they will leave the union, and those who don't leave will be fired, and they can only choose one of the jobs and the union, and you have become more and more ugly over the years, it's time to end this kind of days!"
"You dare!"
David Mathers can't care about singing white faces, and John Smith is on the road to UAW.
Each member needs to pay a monthly membership fee of $40, and the UAW has more than 600,000 members and can get a monthly membership fee of $24 million.
"What don't I dare to do!" John Smith was not afraid of David Mathers's threats at all, he used to compromise because there was no way, but now he didn't need to compromise.
Then John Smith asked the secretary to take David Mathers and Paul Hartley out of the office, and since his face was torn, there was no need to talk about it.
Immediately after David Mathers and Paul Hartley left GM, John Smith convened a high-level meeting of the company, announcing the decision to close several striking factories and move factories to Alaska, and at the same time issued a notice to all factories that employees must leave the union or leave GM.
On the other side, after David Mathers and Paul Hartley left GM with black faces, the two discussed in the car for a while, and then decided to go to City Hall together.
As long as GM doesn't move to Detroit, GM won't be able to lose both, and eventually have to compromise.
At City Hall, David Mathers and Paul Hartley met Mayor Dennis Archer
"Mayor Archer, Deruth has now reached the most dangerous moment!" said David Mathers, worried.
"What do you mean, President Matthers?" Dennis Archer frowned.
"Mayor Archer, GM is moving!" Paul Hartley replied.
"Mayor Archer, we just spoke with John Smith, and he has given a clear answer that he wants to move the striking factories out of Detroit. David Mathers added, keeping his mouth shut about GM asking employees to leave the UAW.
"Really!" Dennis Archer looked solemn, GM left Detroit, the consequences for the government are very serious, Detroit now has a fiscal deficit of 84 million US dollars, if GM leaves, the government's tax revenue will drop by more than 100 billion US dollars, how to deal with the 84 million US dollar deficit at that time.
"Mayor Archer, the current Detroit must not let GM leave, as soon as GM leaves more than 200,000 people will lose their jobs, and it will also affect the supporting industries, and it is estimated that 500,000 people will face unemployment at that time, and the tax revenue will reach more than 100 billion US dollars. You've been trying to reduce the deficit since you took office, and now you've just gotten a little bit better, and if GM leaves, it's all for nothing. David Mathers fanned the flames.
Dennis Archer stood up after hearing this, and decided to go to John Smith, his predecessor left him a deficit of 84 million US dollars, he worked hard to balance the balance and reduce the deficit, and he saw that he had just achieved some results, but GM was leaving, and this and that line was there! Detroit was supported by the three major car companies of GM, Ford, and Chrysler, and as soon as GM left, Detroit's vitality was directly cut off, so GM could not be allowed to leave Detroit under any circumstances.
