Chapter 785: Trade Unions
After Wang Guorui's founding election, Xiao Hongsheng successfully became the first founding prime minister, and then he officially began to organize the cabinet. However, due to Wang Guorui's semi-constitutional monarchy, cabinet members cannot concurrently serve as members of parliament, so that the cabinet cannot completely and effectively influence the cabinet, and it is impossible for the parliament to be one with them, and the cabinet's control over the parliament is much worse. This is one of the limitations, and Wang Guorui also has two most important restrictions on the power of the cabinet, especially in the personnel appointment power of local and central subordinate officials, Wang Guorui is still handed over to the examination institute, so Wang Guorui will be responsible for the work of the examination institute next.
"Liu Xue, how are you doing in the labor department lately?" Wang Guorui asked.
And Liu Xue listened to Wang Guorui's inquiry, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the concubine has done a good job in the labor department recently, and everyone respects me very much." However, everyone is respecting me as a queen, not me, I'm just a fox. ”
"It's okay, with the title of queen, that's not bad. Next, according to the plan, after Kang Tongwei's childbirth is completed next year, it will be your turn to have a baby! Wang Guorui laughed.
And Liu Xue's face blushed for a while, but she soon recovered, and now Wang Guorui must have something important to call her over.
"Liu Xue, I plan to split the labor department, what do you think?" Wang Guorui asked.
"Breaking up the labor department?" Liu Xue asked suspiciously.
Wang Guorui said: "In the past, the labor department was actually a hodgepodge, not only managing all kinds of labor examinations, various vocational skills examinations, but also responsible for the protection of labor rights and interests. This can easily lead to various entanglements of interests, so I plan to split the former Labor Agency into the General Labor Union. I will personally serve as the chairman of the trade union, and I will set up an executive vice chairman to be responsible for specific affairs. The duty of the Federation of Trade Unions is to safeguard the rights of ordinary workers, and then to safeguard the interests of workers at the bottom of society. And this is specifically for the interests of workers, and will not continue to be responsible for the examination of workers' vocational skills. ”
Wang Guorui's establishment of this federation of trade unions actually absorbed the experience of those Western countries. This era in Western countries was the era of capitalism at its peak. The capitalists exploit the workers without any scruples, and then the living and working conditions of the workers are extremely compressed. Workers not only have poor production conditions, but also have very low wages and long working hours. In many cases, a worker works nine hours a day, but in fact, many workers face overtime, and overtime exists to a certain extent every day. The average working hours are more than 10 hours, and overtime pay is not very guaranteed.
And in order to save money, those business owners even save the cost of labor protection for those workers. Many workers breathe air with a variety of particulate matter on a daily basis, and the surrounding workplace is heavily hot. And it's dirty. The PM2.5 levels in the air are very high, which has serious consequences for many workers. Even in this era, it is not uncommon for a worker to work from the age of twenty and then to the age of thirty to have gray hair, and by the time he is forty years old, he is already full of gray hair. And it is not easy for a low-level worker to live to the age of fifty, and it can even be said to be a miracle.
No one can imagine how bad the working conditions are for workers in this era. It's shocking to the point. It is precisely because the conditions of the workers are so bad, and the capitalists are so black-hearted in order to save costs and expand profits. That's what makes the later total. The Party and the Communist Party. The most important reason for the rise of prostitution. And then because of those altogether. The rise of industryism has forced capitalists from all over the world to take the initiative to take care of the interests of workers to a certain extent, allowing them to reduce their working hours, pay overtime wages, and allow them to obtain relatively complete labor protection so that they will not inhale all kinds of dust all day long. Let them live for decades. In addition, the establishment of various social insurances has established a relatively perfect social security system for ordinary laborers, so that the production and life of workers have been greatly guaranteed.
And because of this, the average life expectancy of human beings has generally increased to 70 years, instead of the result of dying at the age of 50 or 60 in the past.
The past does not forget the teacher of the future. Since Wang Guorui has experienced these things, he naturally has to consider setting up a trade union early. At the very least, the interests of this worker should be safeguarded, the basic interests of those workers should be safeguarded, at least they should not be plunged into despair and then try to overthrow the government through revolution. Wang Guorui knew this, so he had to be even more careful, and naturally he didn't dare to mess around. He knew that he had to pay attention to this situation, otherwise in a few years, the revolutionary fire of the Soviets would burn on his head, which would not be fun.
Rather than the outbreak of revolution in our own country at that time, it is better to take the initiative to care for the interests of the workers now, so that their interests are guaranteed, so that they will not risk overthrowing themselves by revolutionary means. Many times, in fact, the emperor is also the one who carries the black cauldron. Many times it is the bureaucracy that is doing evil, but in the end it is the emperor who bears the blame, and then after overthrowing the emperor, he changes to a new dynasty, and then secretly thinks that the bureaucracy will continue to be officials and continue to harm the people. And the emperor who was overthrown became a faint tyrant one by one, carrying the black pot for those bureaucrats and politicians.
And the president of the United States is also responsible for those big corporations, those big corporations get the president on the table, and then once something happens, let everyone scold the president. Then let the president who walked in front of the stage be scolded, and then those conglomerates continued to exploit the people and continue to count the money behind them.
Wang Guorui naturally couldn't file this big wrong, so he directly set up a trade union to protect the interests of workers. Taking advantage of the fact that the domestic capital power has not yet been able to rise completely, we should hurry up to set up trade unions, so as to protect the interests of workers to a large extent. Once those domestic capitalists have risen, they will certainly use their political resources and all kinds of resources to oppose the trade unions, and there will certainly be great resistance to the establishment of trade unions at that time. Therefore, it is better to set up trade unions as soon as possible, so that even if those capitalists rise at that time, they will already be in the boat and will not be able to effectively oppose them.
"I'm going to use the power of the workers, to use it against the forces of capital, and then I'm going to make them fight against each other, and then I'm going to be the judge. On the government side, there is a parliament and the government that contain each other, and the government cannot influence the parliament too much, and when the parliament supervises the government, the government cabinet must also dissolve the parliament through me to get a counterattack. And this is only the appearance, and the government and parliament are actually just a kind of politics, not the core. The real core is built at the bottom, that is, the economic foundation. The current economic foundation has created a vast majority of the power of capital, and once the power of capital monopolizes the political power, the people at the bottom will certainly not be able to obtain the guarantee of interests. As you can see, workers in Western countries also face all kinds of oppression. And once one day, when they can't stand it, what do you say they will do? Wang Guorui asked.
"Rebellion?" Liu Xue asked.
"Yes, rebellion, or rather, revolution. In the final analysis, in fact, it was just that he could not survive anymore, so he was forced to rise up in revolution. Wang Guorui said.
But Liu Xue asked: "It's different now, it's all rifles and cannons now, can you still succeed in rebellion?" ”
"No, it can be successful. Because those who do not use rifles and cannons are also soldiers, and the vast majority of soldiers are from the bottom of society, and they are naturally of the same class as those workers. So it's easy to turn them against us, and then those rifles and cannons will all come to our heads. Therefore, we cannot ignore the interests of the workers, and we must be oppressed to the point of exploding, and then we will die without a place to be buried. Wang Guorui said.
Although Wang Guorui controlled the red alarm system, Wang Guorui did not think that it was completely safe. Although the army can be controlled through the red police system at present, what about their own descendants? Does Dio have to go through the Red Alert system for generations? This is impossible. The red police system is only a palliative solution, so it is really necessary to solve the core problem, that is, to protect the interests of workers. Only when the interests of the workers are safeguarded is an important reason why the workers do not overthrow Wang Guorui or his descendants by revolutionary means.
Wang Guorui plans to take advantage of the present to set up a trade union as soon as possible, and then take advantage of the fact that the capitalists have not fully grown up to pull the workers in hand. It is not impossible that even when the time comes, the workers can form their own political parties, and even Wang Guorui intends to support the workers in forming a political party to represent their own interests.
And Wang Guorui personally served as the chairman of this trade union, that is, in order to deter those capitalists with his name as emperor, so that those capitalists would not dare to mess around. And in the eyes of those ordinary workers, tell them that the emperor and the royal family value them, so that they feel that they "have a backer" and can be bold to confront the capitalists. And between the workers and the capitalists, the workers are often on the inferior side, so according to the principle of balance, Wang Guorui must pull them along, so that they can balance the struggle. Once the balance is lost, then Wang Guorui's country and power are not stable.
At the government level, the parliament, the examination institute, and the future supervision department should be used to supervise and contain the government, so as to avoid excessive power in the executive branch. On the basis of this, it is to take advantage of the contradictory relationship between workers and capitalists, which is both competitive and cooperative, and then let them maintain balance. And the emperor can be a peacemaker when everyone has a conflict, and come to the mud. As long as the future emperors don't die by themselves and meddle everywhere, as long as they do this work of peace and affairs well, then they can still eat with a golden rice bowl with peace of mind.
