Negotiations broke down.

It's only four days. Because Link told Dill to be tougher, the negotiations between Dill and the union and the staff broke down strongly. But the employees who asked for increased benefits didn't make much of a fuss. At least, there were no strikes or anything.

That's what Link and Jessica were worried about.

Maybe those employees feel like it's a bit of a loss to strike for a twenty-dollar stipend, so they play by the law.

The law limits the number of hours an employee can work overtime, and employees have the right to refuse to work overtime.

After the negotiations broke down, Link received reports from the company that some of the service team staff worked only eight hours a day.

That certainly makes sense. It's just that they not only make the customer unsatisfied, but also cause a lot of losses to Benehans.

"They've found the right way to deal with us!" Link heard from the marketing department that there was a lot of complaints from customers. And a group of service team staff has gone home.

Because tomorrow is the weekend. They refuse to work overtime and want to go home with their children.

They left their workplaces suddenly, making it impossible for the marketing department to properly deploy manpower.

Hearing the news, Link walked from his seat to the bar on crutches, despite the injury on his foot.

Jessica quickly grabbed him, "You're not allowed to drink!" She was furious when she heard the news from the company. But now is not the time to get angry. The actions of those employees have seriously hurt the interests of Benihans' company. Not only money, but also reputation. But they had anticipated this for a long time. "It's not like we're unprepared!"

Link didn't dare to struggle, so he let her push him back into his seat. He let out a sullen breath and said, "Do they think too much of me, and think that this will make me submit to their unreasonable demands?"

"There were only 300 of them. More than 1,200 employees are still at their posts. Don't you think that's a good thing?"

He sneered and said, "Do you think I should wait two more days to see the opportunity of an option for those who also refuse to work overtime but dare not go home directly?"

True, there are fewer than 300 people who go straight home, but more than 600 people have insisted on working only eight hours a day for two days in a row.

Those are wall grasses!

"If it is resolved after two days, it will only make the company a joke. "Benehans is now at a critical time to hit the market. Losing the company's reputation in order to fight those people is completely more than worth the loss. "What do you decide to do?"

Link took two deep breaths and said, "Let's make a list of those people first." ”

"You're going to deal with them later?" Jessica said with a frown. "If it gets too big, the impact will be quite bad. ”

Link also completely calmed down and said, "I'll take my time." ”

He picked up the phone and made a call to the marketing manager, asking him to make a list of those who had not yet taken a leave but had gone home, and those who had not left but refused to work overtime.

After explaining the matter, he said the solution to this matter: "I will send you a list of service employees who have finished training early, and you can arrange to replace those who go home." The rest of the people use the old employees as the team leader to form a new team. ”

"Yes. But what about those who go home?"

"In the future, you don't have to arrange for them to work, just let them have children at home!"

The marketing manager is psychologically cold. Link's decision didn't fire those people. But those people's work contracts are based on the hourly rate of work. If you are not assigned to work, you will receive up to as much salary support as unemployment benefits per month.

He didn't expect Link, who is usually so easy to speak, to be ruthless and vicious. If those people are fired, the company will have to pay severance pay. According to U.S. law, severance pay for layoffs is not necessarily paid according to the number of years of service, and if the union intervenes, the matter may be very big.

And when Link did, those people either quit their jobs or received a few hundred dollars a month to live as unemployed. If they work for another company while they are under contract with the company, the company can take those people to court and claim compensation.

He immediately said, "I understand! I'll give the job to my colleague." ”

"This time there will be more than 800 new employees on board, and you will mix these people with old employees. Let the veteran employees lead them to familiarize themselves with the workflow as soon as possible. There are also those who refuse to work overtime in the future, and give priority to those honest employees in the work arrangement in the future. And they are not allowed to be group leaders in the future. ”

"Yes, I understand!"

"That's all. You arrange it right away. Before midnight today, I want to see the new team schedule, and the new employees must leave for their place of work today and tomorrow morning. ”

He hung up the phone. Then another call was made: "Martha, I want to know the air traffic control time at some city airports." I'll send you a list of cities. Also, I'm going to rent some small passenger planes, the required number and destination, etc., together with you. You should also prepare first."

The new staff is trained in Las Vegas, and if you want to get to the customer's farm, you can't drive it, you have to fly. It is not possible to take a flight, so he can only directly rent a plane to send people over.

Jessica saw that he had made all the arrangements, so she poured him a cup of coffee and said, "Calm down now!"

"I'm not angry!" she smiled. He surrendered and said. "Well, I'll admit that I'm a little angry. How much we thought about them. That's how they reciprocate us?"

Both he and Jessica understand that products like Super Weed Virus are not long-term business. Even if that kind of business can be done for a few years, after one removal, the weeds in those fields will definitely be reduced a lot, and the company's service team will definitely not need so many people. They have set up a way out for service teams that may lose their jobs. And in order to allow these people to have a relatively high income and can properly arrange those employees, they did not blindly recruit new employees because there are more orders now.

But that's how they reciprocated. Just because he didn't agree to their unreasonable demands.

Parent-child allowance: If you want to have children, don't come out to work!

"You don't have to be angry with them. They do that, and it's only them who lose. ”

She knew that the main reason for his anger was that of the less than 300 employees who had returned home, nearly 100 had come from Hans's low-rent apartment.

Fortunately, the proportion is not too large. Of the 1,500 people, more than 900 are from low-rent apartments. That's less than a tenth. If the percentage had been higher, she wondered if Link would have simply shut down the low-rent apartment.

"Maybe they don't know it yet, they just think it's our loss. ”

"I wonder if we'll let them know that we've actually trained a bunch of people, and they'll settle down a little bit. "The previous group was trained in Mississili, which is a bit cheaper.

"Maybe some of you already know. ”

If he let them know, how can he tell who is not with the same heart as the company this time? If he reveals in advance the news that new employees will be hired immediately, those people will definitely shrink back. But maybe they will wait for an opportunity to make trouble again. He was stupid to raise them to make trouble for himself.

People who rent low-cost apartments may be connected. That's why most of them didn't participate. And some of the groups made up entirely of former low-rent apartment tenants are not troublemakers. That says something.

"Whether they know it or not, at least they're doing their job. ”

Link pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jessica made up his decision: "Also, do you really want to force those people out like that? If they let the union make trouble, maybe something will happen." ”

He scoffed and said, "Aren't they going to do things according to the law? We just pay them according to the contract. And there are no layoffs, what can the union do?"

Jessica smiled when she heard him say that, and didn't say anything more.

But she had already decided in her heart to let the people on the other side of the company "talk" to the leadership of the union. As long as the unions ignore the workers, the workers don't even have a place to speak.

In fact, she felt that Link had done the right thing. Those people think they are fighting for their legitimate rights. But in her opinion, it was insatiable.

The company arranges those people to work, although sometimes they work for more than ten days in a row, but they will be arranged to have eight days off every month.

If you are assigned to work full-time, even if you only work eight hours a day, you will only work an average of five days a week, and your weekly salary will reach more than $1,500. With the addition of various subsidies, you can earn $1,800, and if you work overtime every week, you can earn more than $10,000 if you work only 22 days a month. That's a lot more than most white-collar workers in New York.

But they weren't satisfied!

It seems that it is indeed missing the catfish effect. Maybe adding some new employees, diluting their income, and making them feel the crisis, will make them appreciate the job even more.

However, although she supports Link's decision, she is worried that Link will have consequences if he does so.

That certainly won't be too much of a problem. At most, it is for the media to be covered. It's just that if the media is allowed to report indiscriminately, Link's reputation will be damaged. Link doesn't care, she can't care!

Labor and management have different positions and different positions.

Link and Jessica think they've treated those employees well enough. But those employees who are asking for an increase in their allowance don't think so.

And among them there are wise people who can see very clearly. Like Mike Marion.

Ever since he knew that they were charging $200 per acre for their services, he had secretly calculated it. He found that they were working in groups of three or four people on an average of eighty acres of farmland each day. That means that the combined salary of a group of them is only $1,200 a day, and their work creates a fortune of $16,000.

So, he felt that his income was too small.

At the same time, he also heard some news: the company's customers are increasing, but there are not enough people. So he connected some people: "Now they need us. Our request for an increase in remuneration will not be taken into account by the company. ”

He used the phrase "Maybe we can try the company's attitude." "Convincing a lot of people. Those people were moved by his rhetoric of "we have created too much and received too little".

And his statement is "we can take it one step at a time", "just let them know how important we are, and they will agree." It made those people feel like he had a point. The company takes that order, and it needs a large number of workers to fulfill those orders, and in the end it must be compromised.

After the negotiations, they took up the weapon of the law to defend their rights.

Mike Marion returned home and waited all day, without waiting for a call from the company begging them to go to work. By Sunday, he was ready to report to the company that he was going to work.

Although he feels that he has taken less, it is difficult to find a job now, and he does not want to lose it. And it's the highest-paying job he's ever gotten that he can give up some of his income for higher earnings in the future, but he definitely doesn't want the company to find an opportunity to fire him.

It's just that he hasn't had time to call the company to report. He received a text message informing him, "Mike Marion, the company has decided to put you on vacation. Please pay attention to the notice of follow-up work arrangement. ”

When he saw this text message, he panicked. He knew it wasn't normal. In his opinion, the company arranged a vacation for him at a time when there was a shortage of manpower. Could it be that this is what the company wants to deal with him?
