As far as General Motors is concerned, the expenditure of this part of the professional bank alone costs $1 billion a year, and not only the retirement salary, but also their medical expenses, which are even more expensive, $5 billion a year!

Let's just say that GM currently has just over 100,000 employees, but the company has to pay for up to 500,000 retired employees and their families!

GM, when you buy the company's car, you're paying $1,500 to these retirees, and that money has to be spent, or ......

It's good to buy cars from other companies, such as Japanese cars and Korean cars.

With such a heavy burden on a company, it is natural that they will not be competitive, and to be honest, it is a miracle that American auto giants like GM and Ford have survived until now.

However, such strict, which can be said to be perverted conditions, are not idiots for these automobile companies of General Motors, so why do they have to sign such a treaty?

This Nima is simply an unequal treaty, just like China in the late Qing Dynasty before.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, the former American auto companies are really good, too comfortable, and too profitable!

Well, that's the reason, so it seems that this is the benefit that the capitalists have shown great mercy to the workers?

This is not the case, these treaties were signed under very sad circumstances, and they were all completed under the coercion of the trade unions.

What is the ability of the trade unions? In fact, it is very simple, just one move, strike!

It's a simple approach, isn't it?

But just think. At the peak of the auto company's glory, it was hundreds of millions of dollars a day. In this case, the strike delays you for a day. How much of a loss is that?

You must know that the era of signing such a treaty was the early 80s of the last century, when it was already a meticulous assembly line work, and in such a collaborative mode, as long as the workers in one of the links went on strike, then no one else wanted to work.

Therefore, this era is the best era for American car companies. But it was also the era when strikes were the most brutal. The American trade unions and the workers under their jurisdiction, they have been going on strikes and fighting since the sixties and seventies of the last century, and finally in the 80s, they finally got their wish.

In fact, these treaties, at that time in the 80s, did not seem particularly excessive.

Because American car companies are not stupid. On the one hand, they have their own money, and on the other hand, they can calculate.

At that time, American workers retired at the age of 65, but the average life expectancy in the United States at that time was 66 years. Got it, the capitalists are not stupid at all and don't work anymore. He died a year later, so he didn't have much money. That's a good calculation.

But now, it goes without saying. Everyone can see what the situation is, Detroit, the headquarters of the three major American automobile companies, has gone bankrupt.

Since the American trade unions and the big American companies are like this, they still do good things for the workers of the United States, and besides, how can they have anything to do with those immigrants? In other words, how can they attack the immigration bill imposed by Comrade Guanhai?

In fact, this matter has to start with the organization of the trade union, which is all about.

Our Chinese point of view, that is, we all think that the trade union must be for the good of the workers, it must be like this, because in those years, we also made a scene in the workers' movement, then our side is all positive propaganda, this is right?

That's true, the movements we had back then, they were all good, and they all had to be done against the capitalists. But now the unions in the United States, it's different.

First of all, let's look at a number, that is, the number of people who join the union, the union in the United States at its best, almost 25% of the workers in the United States participate in the union, a quarter, so the union itself has won a lot of rights for workers, right?

So generally speaking, the normal change should be now, more and more people are joining the union, but what is the truth?

Now in the whole of the United States, there are only 12. About 5% of workers are unionized!

This proportion is decreasing, and it is constantly decreasing, why is that?

In fact, there is only one reason, that is, the current American trade unions are not actually fighting against the capitalists, they are actually fighting with the American workers!

This is incredible, isn't it?

But that's just the way it is.

How do American unions work?

You have to pay 5% of your income so that you can join the union.

So what can they guarantee that the union takes your money?

They just can provide some positions, not to mention the union of the automobile company, let's talk about the Screen Actors Guild, many people probably don't know at all, if you don't join the Screen Actors Guild, then almost no film and television companies dare to hire you to act!

Why is this happening?

Because the way the union works is like this, when he enters an industry and establishes a union in a company, then they will sign an agreement with the company, simply put, you can only hire people in my union, you hire other people, then it doesn't work, we will sue you.

The company looks at it, your union is powerful, and you can't afford to offend, so what do you say, anyway, how to hire people and not hire?

In fact, this is to squeeze out other workers, those who are not in the union, they are suppressed!

First of all, the union has the right to hire workers, so if it is not its own workers, of course it must be refused, you know, the workers in their own union are given money, and naturally they have to give priority to their work needs, which is not said.

Secondly, what do the unions do when they do some collective activities, such as strikes?

You must have heard the word "workers' pickets"? So what do workers' pickets do in the United States?

It's the workers, it's the ones who clean up the disobedient workers. Whoever dares to work for the capitalists during the strike will be beaten!

In fact. There are many, many dark sides to the trade unions themselves, and there was once a trade union practitioner in the United States who wrote a book on this. Expose all kinds of filth in it to the public, and don't talk about these things.

Let's just say that the workers in the United States, although they can't systematically grasp the dark side of the union, but because of their own vital interests, they have consciously made a choice, that is, to reject the union, so now fewer and fewer people are joining the union.

We won't talk about whether the result of rejecting the union is good or bad, but when we figure out what the union really does. What kind of institution is this, then, how does the trade union have a relationship with the immigration policy, and how to deal with Comrade Guanhai's new immigration policy, this answer should be figured out, right?

Xenophobia!

Yes, trade unions are not only crowding out workers, they are also crowding out potential workers, and immigrants are also an important target for trade unions!

Unbelief?

Let's look at history first, everyone has heard of the "Chinese Exclusion Act", right?

But. It is estimated that not many people know that it was the trade unions that really pushed the "Chinese Exclusion Act", which was the Federation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Labor in the United States at that time!

Bullying of Chinese workers. They are really the vanguard, because of the Chinese workers, it is a bunch of people with low wages. And they are especially hard-working guys, which is definitely the main group to steal their jobs. And then don't clean them up?

Moreover, the Chinese workers were particularly interesting at that time. It's that there are all going on strike, but the Chinese workers think it's nothing and continue to work, but, yes, the workers' pickets mentioned earlier have come out, in fact, this team was mainly created to deal with Chinese workers in the past.

Trade unions have always been the most ruthless anti-Chinese workers, and the later "Chinese Exclusion Act" has a direct relationship with them!

That was the past, and what about the present?

Now it's even more interesting, a few years ago, when our country was formulating the minimum wage regulations, our whole country was naturally very concerned, but in the world, who else paid special attention?

American Unions!

All over the world, the one who paid the most attention to what the minimum wage for Chinese workers was the American Federation of Labor at that time, and it was them.

Well, this is a good thing, they are not out of the spirit of internationalism?

If you look at the surface, it is true that the American Federation of Labor has given great affirmation and support to this matter, but what kind of account do they calculate?

Don't forget, at that time, American companies were moving to China, why did they move? It's not because we have low labor costs in China, so now you have to set a minimum wage, and if China's labor costs are high, will American companies still move?

That's right, they're just settling the account, and they just hope that China's labor costs will suddenly increase, and the higher the better, so that the workers of the American trade unions will have more opportunities, right?

But it's a pity that the American trade unions' calculations have not been successful, because our workers' treatment has improved, but it is not comparable to that of American workers.

Since the American trade union is such an organization, a such existence, in fact, what is this thing?

Isn't it conservatism!

So who is the Conservative Party in the United States?

Isn't that understandable?

When John Bona heard Wu Xiang's idea, he immediately laughed, and he immediately understood that this was helping them speak!

How should this movie be made?

It's too simple, it's the kind of role that the trade unions can see, and everyone can see it on the surface, and it improves the welfare of the workers, which is good for the toiling masses.

The movie just highlights this, the union is good, so what?

And then, hey, hey, how did Detroit go bankrupt? Well, let's change things a little bit, and that's it...... (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for your support, there were a lot of monthly passes yesterday, it's very much like very touched, thank you sincerely!

What, because of the AIIB, the second season of the colon flower is about to be staged on the treasure island!

Looking at the time, it seems to be just a year later, it's good, hehehe...... However, as far as the latest news that the black car knows, it seems that this second season is temporarily sad, those guys have entered the bureau, and the black car went out to buy melon seeds, soda or something, hey~

However, it feels like the same recipe, the same taste, as for what will happen in the end, the black car can't say well, but we can look forward to it, hehehe
