Chapter 187: Trade Unions?
The southwestern part of the town of Iva is now divided. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This area is inhabited by the men of Goblin Baron Zax, and all the goblin artisans he brought with him;
A large number of goblins such as flight manufacturing engineers, aircraft assembly workers, aircraft parts production line workers, and airport logistics support. The number of goblins in this batch reached more than 4,000.
In order to accommodate them, Locke specially ordered an area to be vacated for these noisy little creatures to live here.
These goblin journeymen are different from the engineering goblin workers recruited in the goblin world before, those goblin workers are recruited by themselves, and after they disembark, they are placed in the eastern part of Iva by themselves. In the next step, they will also serve Iva's air force.
The recruited airship teams, when the weather clears, will build towers at several locations marked by Hilo as docking docks for airships. Now, as soon as the supporting production plant related to Iva is established, the construction of the airship will start immediately.
The workers in the factory will be all human civilians, which will alleviate Iva's surplus of human resources to some extent.
When the human workers of Iva can skillfully build civilian airships, then military airships are just around the corner.
Locke walked into the area where the goblins lived with several non-commissioned officers of the Guards Company.
Maybe it's because most of the goblins who came this time are skilled workers, and their obsession with technology is very high, Locke has seen more than once that one by one goblins are outside the eaves where they live, tinkering with the machinery in their hands, and their mouths are still chanting.
Of course, there were skirmishes from mechanical explosions everywhere.
"Well, this yellow wire should be plugged in here, so that the output of the current will be more stable." Not far from Locke, a goblin was tinkering with the machine in his hand.
"Great! The output power of the power core is stable! The goblin had a gauge in his hand, and there were several wires stuck in the gauge on the iron box that was wrapped with wires on the outside.
"This means that I will soon become a master engineer too!" Goblins danced excitedly.
Suddenly, the meter in his hand made a dripping sound, and the goblin looked down and immediately screamed.
"Oh! No! Damn it! ”
The goblin, who had been happy, suddenly screamed, and he threw the iron box in his hand.
The non-commissioned officers behind Locke rushed forward and shielded Locke with their shields.
"Boom !!!"
The power of the small iron box stunned Locke and the soldiers around him who were responsible for guarding him.
The thing exploded in the air, its impact shattering several of the surrounding silver pine trees.
In response, the goblin just bounced away the snowflakes covering his body, muttered a few words, and returned to the room.
The goblins that poured out of the houses around them also slowly walked away after seeing this situation.
As if this is a common occurrence.
"Legion Commander! Do you really think? Can these little guys' stuff be reliable? A non-commissioned officer said worriedly, "They are just a bunch of little madmen, how dare they put such a dangerous thing in the town for experiments!" ”
Seeing this, Locke was also deeply skeptical.
Now that the money has been spent and the layout has been laid out, you can't give up halfway, right?
"It was an accident!" Locke had to bite the bullet and say, "Let's go ahead and find their flight engineers, they're our target!" ”
Locke couldn't help but pray secretly, hoping that those flight engineers would be reliable, otherwise his money would really be spent in vain.
Locke stopped by a few large houses, which, according to his information, were inhabited by the engineers who built the aircraft. These goblins were originally to guide the workers they brought to assemble the plane, and guide the goblins to produce the parts of the plane, which can be regarded as high-end talents.
Locke walked to one of the doors and knocked on it, but there was no response in the room, and he tried to shout, but there was no response.
"Did you go out?" Locke thought suspiciously, "But in such a strange place, where can they run to?" ”
"Hey! Mankind! What are you doing there? Suddenly, a goblin in the distance shouted Locke.
Locke turned his head to see a goblin in a leather jacket and leather pants and aviator goggles watching them.
"Oh, we're here with these engineers, and we have some questions we want to discuss." Locke walked towards the goblin.
"Then we'll have to wait, Irontongs and they're going to a meeting," the goblin wiped his nose, "it's cold here. We went from the southern part of the planet to the northern part of the planet, and we really didn't adapt to the climate here. ”
"It's only a few days of the year when it's colder. Immediately the weather was warm. Locke looked at the goblin in front of him, the guy was dressed like a pilot.
A small black leather jacket and leather pants, with layers of fluff on the exposed eaves, and a thin hat covering his hair on his forehead, and a pair of black goggles on the hat.
"Excuse me, are you a pilot?" Locke tried to ask.
"Oh! Human, your eyes are amazing! The goblin gave Lockerby a thumbs up, and he said with a little pride, "You're right! I'm a pilot! Responsible for the test flight of newly built aircraft. ”
"Wow! A brave and great test pilot! Locke complimented.
Locke's compliment made the goblin pilot very happy, and it was obvious that it was not easy to get a human's appreciation.
"Say it! Humans, what are you looking for them? I might be able to help you find them. The goblin smiled and said that he looked at the big man in front of him very pleasantly, and no human had ever spoken to him like this before.
"Oh, it's not a big deal, I just wanted to inquire about the aircraft manufacturing side." Locke said half-truthfully, anyway, it was indeed because of the problems in aircraft manufacturing.
"Oh," the goblin clasped his hands in his arms and looked at Locke for a moment, "look at your outfit and the soldiers behind you, you should be a big human man." Let's go, maybe you can help us! I'll take you to them. ”
"By the way, my name is Cledge Sanda. Test pilot of the Hot Sand Port Group. The goblin turned and walked towards a nondescript house in the area.
"Hello, Pilot Klitsch, I have great admiration for your feat. You have made a great contribution to the conquest of the skies by intelligent beings. Locke said with a smile, anyway, if he said a few flattering words, he wouldn't lose a piece of meat.
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated!" Klich smiled from ear to ear, he waved his hand, "Eat well, you may not know, we goblins are clearly classified, and if we don't make some efforts, it will be miserable to be divided into the slave class." ”
Locke echoed him with a smile.
"Humans, we goblins have a big operation this time, which is why the Iron Pincers have gathered them." Klitsch said to himself.
Locke slowly saw that this Klitsch had no door in his mouth.
Through his mouth, Locke knew that the heads of their senior engineers, master engineers, and workers were gathered in a house not far away, and a secret and vital meeting was taking place.
In the goblin world, where money is paramount, every goblin is very fond of money. But the goblins who get rich first will definitely squeeze those goblins who have not goblins, and they want to accumulate wealth and want to become richer.
As a result, he extended his daily working hours, worked overtime at will without overtime pay, had no holidays, and did not have any work-related injury benefits.
As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is class struggle.
Now this class struggle is taking place in the town of Iva in Locke, where the goblins are concentrated.
These goblin senior engineers, according to Crouch. There is only 5 silver coins per month, and it will take three months to pay it out. The average worker is paid less and is paid for a longer period of time.
In the past, they had also made relevant demands in the Hot Sand Port Group, but they were all suppressed by the goblin army.
So they were forced by the power of the Prince of Trade, so they had to hide secretly.
But what they didn't expect was that they were actually sent out to the territory of a human lord to develop their business.
This gives the goblins who claim their rights a golden opportunity.
No, on the first day of their arrival, they gathered to discuss countermeasures and prepare to apportionment with Baron Zacks, just to improve their working conditions and benefits.
Under the astonished eyes of the two goblins standing guard at the door, Credge swaggered into the small house with Locke, and Locke's guards were stopped.
The room was pitch black, except for a large table in the middle, where a few mechanical lamps were emitting a faint glow, and there were no known how many goblins were lurking around.
"Listen to me! We shouldn't be so weak! Look at them! As soon as Locke entered the room, he saw a goblin standing on the table, dancing and agitating, "Those airship engineers, how are their salaries and treatments?!" They can't even afford to eat in our original society! But now! They get paid 10 silver coins a month! There are holidays, there are benefits during the New Year's holidays, 8 hours a day, overtime pay for overtime, and the most important thing is! Eat and live! Wages are not in arrears yet! ”
"And what about us?!" The goblins shook off their hats and yelled at the other goblins in the house, "We do a job that is 10 times ahead of them!" What do we eat?! These slimy toothpastes like shit! We only have 5 credits per month! And three months in arrears! We have to work overtime at any time! Work 12 hours a day! We're going to pay Zax's vampire 1 silver a month in rent! ”
"Why is this?! It's not fair! The goblin said as he jumped on the table with his blood gushing up.
Critch pointed to the goblin and whispered to Locke, "He's the Iron Vice, the engineer you're looking for in the aircraft manufacturing industry." ”
"We're all goblins, so why aren't we as good as human hired site elves?!" Iron Tong blushed and roared angrily, "We need rights!" ”
"I propose! We're going to build a great organization! It represents all workers! Its name is 'Goblin Workers' Federation and Industrial Trade Unions'! Mainly responsible for seeking from employers what our workers deserve! ”
Locke was stunned when he heard it, isn't this the abbreviation of the union in the United States?
