Chapter 150: Not Wei Guangzheng's Party of Good People
On the third day of December, the council rejected all of Hu Lin's proposals, as expected, and without surprise or surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rulers of the old era were completely stuck in the old era, completely oblivious to the huge public opinion orientation that had been triggered before, let alone the dangerous trap in this petition proposal.
This proposal is no longer a simple statement, as was the case with previous councils, but a logical justification for doing so.
The so-called trade unions supervise the safety of mining areas, which is based on the basic right of human beings -- the right to subsistence. Because the mine owner does not need to go down, the safety of the mine has little to do with the mine owner, and only the people who really go down the mine are qualified to supervise the safety of the mine, and safety is the basic right of human survival.
After more than a month of overwhelming publicity, the concept that people's right to life is in their own hands is stolen is equivalent to that if the miners do not have the right to control their own lives, then it means that the council does not regard these miners as adults.
These problems were issues that those people in the old era had never considered at all, so as soon as the veto of the council came out, the tabloids in the hands of the ink-colored elements quickly spread and guided public opinion, and the middle and lower levels of the entire Fujian City exploded in an instant, and the public opinion was monstrous.
But after all, it is none of their business, and the people of the Mexican Party are only propagandizing and do not encourage anyone in Mincheng to make any radical moves.
However, last year's orchid craze bubble bursting, a large amount of funds were sucked away by Chen Jian, and cheap labor gathered in Nan'an, which caused a temporary depression in Mincheng, which made the middle level, who had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, even more angry.
The bureaucrats knew that it would cause discontent at the bottom, but they did not expect that this discontent would be so intense that it was completely beyond their control.
The county guard was old and did not want to get involved in any trouble, and the bureaucrats in the city were not willing to carry this pot on themselves, or rather, they wanted to wash themselves white, so they made a more childish move.
Secretly revealed the process of the resolution of this council, which means that you want to blame us, please don't blame us, blame those members of the council.
Two stupid tricks in a row have proved that these elites of the old era are completely confused, and they are forced to treat the bottom as human beings because of the oath of founding the country at the time of the founding of the country, but it is the rich and noble class in the city who actually hold the power, and there is no external enemy to divert the contradictions, so the problem is only pure internal contradictions.
In this schizophrenia-like state, they had to waver. They want the city to be stable, but they don't want to take the anger of the people on themselves, and sell their natural allies clean, but the anger and distrust at the bottom have not disappeared.
On the fifth day of December, the Central Party Department of Mincheng and Mexico held its last meeting on this matter, and that night, all those who had been assigned duties were busy.
Or go to various mining areas at the agreed time, or write articles overnight to win the sympathy of others, or contact those who were ready to cooperate before.
On December 12, all the commanders who participated in the petition strike were in place, and such an act had the organizational power of a battlefield general in an era of inconvenient communications.
On the same day, at 6 p.m. in all the mining areas where workers' associations had been established and had taken root, it was announced at the same time that the petition had been rejected by the council.
With Mincheng as the center, the various mining areas within a hundred and twenty miles erupted in extreme anger almost at the same time.
A month ago, the miners thought it was a foregone conclusion, but today they are told that the council rejected it completely.
The excitement that had been pent up for a month turned into several times the rage, and what was even more terrifying was that these far away mining areas shouted a slogan at the same time: "Be a person who can control his own right to life!" Behave! Don't be a brute! ”
But the anger was only circulating among the full members of the Hirers' Association, and at eight o'clock the next morning, the mine owners did not know what had happened, and most of the miners who were not full members of the Hirers' Association were not aware of the bad news.
At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, it was the time of the shift change, and the miners, who had stayed up all night the previous night, were about to push the coal out of the mine when suddenly a sharp whistle sounded.
Some of the miners of the Employees' Association, who worked the night shift, understood that this was the whistle of a strike, threw down the minecarts, and rushed out of the mine with people with whom they usually had good relations.
Outside the mine, there were already loud speeches, and almost at the same time, all the miners and mine owners in several mining areas near the entire Mincheng city knew the news.
Most of the miners immediately became angry, and shouted the slogan that they should be able to control their own life and be a human being, not a beast, and the crowd was excited.
The pickets, which had already been trained and organized by the Hire-Workers' Association, immediately took on the prepared red armbands with the word picket written on them, picked up the prepared sticks and hoes, and were responsible for maintaining order.
Four pickets sealed the entrance to the mine with planks and shovels, leaving only a small hole for one person to pass through, and a strip of cloth with the word strike on it hung on the entrance to the mine.
Those who had secretly joined the Hirers' Guild stood out from the crowd and quickly organized together.
"Workers! The council has already rejected our petition, so don't you treat us as human beings! The miners threatened that if the council did not reject the petition, they would paralyze all coal-related industries in Mincheng. They can threaten like this, can't we let the mine not be able to extract a little coal? ”
"We have to stand together, if we don't agree to our request, we will not return to work. Anyway, the resumption of work still has to be burned to death and suffocated to death every year, either today or tomorrow, even if a man wants to die, he can't die, and the dead don't even have the right to choose, but give their lives to those fat guys who don't treat us as human beings at all. ”
"Stand up, don't be a dog to the mine owners, and follow the union to get this victory that should have been won a month ago! This is closely related to us, don't we rely on our hands, but on the mercy of others? ”
"Don't be a brute! Be a person who can control his own right to life! If we don't agree, we won't return to work, and let the mine owners know that they are nothing without us! ”
Speeches of all kinds poured out over the mines, and pickets kept order and counted the number of people.
The miners' thugs were still in a panic, thinking that they would disperse after scaring them, but they were surrounded by organized pickets and disarmed with all their weapons.
Without the slightest real freedom, according to the list previously obtained, all the suspicious elements among the miners were cleared out in advance, and the activities of these people were temporarily restricted.
In the panic, thugs in one of the mining areas opened fire and wounded one of the pickets, but the pickets did not retaliate under organized command, but only controlled the scene and prevented the situation from escalating.
Each mining area has a loyal inkcolor element in command, who has learned and practiced for a long time to deal with all kinds of possible contingencies, and their task is to completely paralyze the mining area, and to go to Mincheng in an organized way before the news reaches Mincheng for the Mincheng army to drive over.
Before heading to Mincheng, they spend four days in the mining area, which is due to the lack of information and the possible time lag between the various mining areas.
In these four days, all that is to do is to try to get the miners to sign the petition in support of it, and to limit the fact that the miners must reply by 1 p.m. on December 17, which is the final bottom line, and there is no room for negotiation, only to agree or not to agree.
Employees have a natural organizational character, especially after the establishment of pickets and trade unions, and this organizational advantage is more vivid.
The speeches were still going on, and the mood of the employees became more and more angry and agreed.
However, people are not monolithic after all.
On the night of December 14, the trade union issued an order announcing that it would go to Mincheng four days later to petition and that the food ships were ready. That night, except for the pickets who kept vigil in shifts to maintain order, all the miners rested normally, and it was strictly forbidden to contact the lobbyists of the mine owners.
That night, the thieves mixed with the miners shouted: "Your union talks all day about pursuing human freedom, but we don't have the freedom to go out and walk around?" You say one thing and do another, why don't you let us walk around? ”
After shouting, two pickets broke down the door and told him that he was now completely free and that he wanted to go wherever he wanted, but that the pickets were also free to follow him. The person who shouted before held back for a long time, went out to the toilet and went back.
On the morning of the 15th, the mine owners clearly told the miners that if they did not go to work, they would all be fired and never used again if they resumed work in the future. Let all the miners think about their wives and children, and don't do stupid things.
The organizers of the various mining areas had already responded to this, and the miners were reassured by their reasoning, and most of the miners had great trust in the union, convinced that they would win if they persevered to the end, and that if they were all fired, the loss of the mine owners would be even greater.
But even so, there are still some timid people who began to break away from the crowd and walked to the mouth of the mine.
The pickets guarding the mine mouth hurriedly organized and recognized the leader as a relative of the mine owner, and after a fierce confrontation, among the people who wanted to return to work, an honest miner stood out, a person who had nothing to do with the mine owner.
He looked at the pickets guarding the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Dude, let me go, I have nothing to do with the mine owner, you know." ”
The pickets also comforted: "Brother, everyone is on strike, what are you doing here?" Don't be afraid, the mine owners don't dare to fire you, and even if they do, they can't find you, so we should be fired first. ”
This honest man shook his head and said: "I don't understand the truth, but buddy, I still have a wife and children at home, and they all rely on me to support them." I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, I can't even afford the risk of just in case. ”
"Brother, your child is sick, isn't it still the union that helped you raise the money? Why did you forget it in the blink of an eye? Besides, who are we striking for? Not for ourselves? ”
The man sighed and said, "How can you forget?" But if you stop yours, I'll dig mine, and I won't affect anything alone anyway. ”
"You can't say that, if you think like this, everyone's hearts will be scattered."
"Your union says all day long that it's for the sake of employees, am I not a hired laborer? You quit your work, I dig my coal, why can't I? ”
"Brother, how is it our union? It's our union! ”
The man shook his head and said, "You can't win, it's been like this for many years, and in the end, it's not you who suffer?" Especially those of you who are leaders, what will your wives and children do when the time comes? Anyway, I'm going to go down the well, won't you let me? ”
At this time, several hired workers in the distance couldn't help but scold: "Traitor! ”
"Don't you want the rights and interests we have won? Selfish dog! Coward! ”
When the person in charge of the Employees' Association heard what was happening here, he hurried over, pointed to the hole and said, "Let's have a fellow worker, let you in." But I'm also telling you clearly, if you can get in, you can't get out! ”
The man secretly said in his heart: "This is also to scare and scare me, your union is a good person, not a mine owner, you don't dare to kill people or do bad things, so I am not afraid." The child was sick a few days ago, and it was still the money paid by the union people, so such people will not do bad things. ”
Thinking so, the man agreed, and slipped into it amid the shouts of angry traitors behind him.
The person in charge stood at the entrance of the cave and asked, "Who else is going down?" I repeat, this is the last chance. It's okay to go down, but the entrance to the cave is sealed, and you can't come up! Who else? ”
Seven or eight more people felt that these people were good people and would not be as serious as the mine owner, so they went in one after another, and after they got in, the person in charge asked three more times, and finally no one answered.
The people in the mine had not gone far when they heard the person in charge shouting: "Picket! Throw two buckets of water into it and seal the hole! Eight days later, take it apart, starve to death! No entry or exit! ”
When several people in the mine heard this, they didn't dare to believe that these good people were going to do it, and hurried to the entrance of the cave, but the last ray of light at the entrance of the cave had been blocked by the wooden planks, and the thick iron shovels were stuck on it.
The people inside panicked and shouted and cursed, but they heard the person in charge outside say: "We are a party, don't judge us with good people and bad people." We don't bother to try to be good people who are praised by everyone. ”
In the end, the person in charge stuck to the wooden board and told the people inside loudly: "We are the Mexican Party, not the Good Old People's Party." ”
