Chapter 732 Employment

Just as businessmen are always discussing how to legally avoid taxes, politicians are often discussing how to avoid political risks, and professional ethics are often required from the top down. It seems that this word is full of such a heavy word as "morality", but in fact, if the phrase "professional ethics" is explained in a more straightforward way, then it is obvious that "morality" does not exist in it, and should be read as "professional law".

It is an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, just as no fool would fly a kite under dark clouds and lightning in a thunderstorm, just as an animal sees the light of fire in the dark night and is both eager and afraid.

People, creatures full of wisdom and contradictions, are even more extreme in this regard, everyone hopes that they can meet the best and luckiest things, and no one wants to be unlucky every day, and even drinking saliva may need to be sent to the hospital for rescue.

The problems left by Memnon should not be borne by Julio, at least that's what Julio thinks, and the methods of operation provided by his legal counsel are highly enforceable. Now because of Memnon's death, everything in the Forward Party has been completely overturned, and if you don't kick it quickly at this time, and when the Forward Party is really dead, you may really not find someone to carry the black pot. In the end, Julio decided to take a look at the operation, and if it worked, then the matter was settled.

Not to mention the fact that Julio had his legal counsel bring the review and reevaluation of the existing bill to the state government and the cabinet, on the other side of the city, Dohrin is meeting with the delegates, led by the president of the Vanlier Workers' Union. Recently, the workers' trade unions have finally breathed a bad sigh, and the simple and independent working class in the west has finally realized the benefits of unity, that only unity can resist the exploitation of the forces of capital, and only unity can bring into play the true strength of the working class!

Unity is strength. There is nothing more powerful than a united working class, and even the unstoppable capitalists tremble in the face of a united working class.

Well, the last half of the sentence is their excited fantasies, in fact the working class in the west is not yet able to threaten the capitalists directly, as in the developed areas, where they are the real disadvantaged. The population of tens of millions is distributed in various regions in the western region, and the number of people with jobs accounts for only about 10 percent of the total number of people who have the right of citizenship and legal residence, and the unemployment rate has reached 59.3 percent. Such a terrible unemployment rate is also one of the characteristics of the west, which is also a "landscape" that cannot be seen elsewhere.

If the unemployment rate in the cities of the developed regions is as high as 59.3 percent, I am afraid that the whole city will be in chaos. A survey conducted by scholars and experts in the social sciences of the Imperial Royal Academy showed that if the unemployment rate in a region is higher than 15 percent, there will be signs of chaos in society, and the problem of law and order will begin to deteriorate. If the unemployment rate exceeds 20 percent, then there will be obvious chaos, and law and order will become the biggest problem in the region.

If the unemployment rate exceeds 30 percent, the area will be in chaos, creating an unstoppable vicious cycle until the rule of a city is completely destroyed and anarchy begins. At present, the average employment rate in the southern cities of the empire is about 9.7, and on the east coast is only 8.1, and even then there are certain social problems and law and order problems. The unemployment rate in the western region remains high, ranging from five to ten times that of other places, and it is simply impossible to maintain a stable social structure.

But in fact, this is the truth, because the special environment in the west allows many families to support themselves even if they do not have a formal job, so even if the unemployment rate is high and outrageously high, there will not be too much chaos. In fact, the most important thing is that basically every household has a shotgun. Shooting criminals who are committing crimes does not have to bear any consequences and responsibilities under the local laws of the west, and even receives rewards and commendations, which makes the cost of crime increase indefinitely, as long as you can find a way to support yourself, such as farming, such as being a gold digger or a hunter, everyone will be fine.

However, this does not mean that people living in the west do not need to work, if they can have a stable job, who is willing to risk going to the wild to find mineral deposits or hunt animals? In a variety of complex circumstances, Dühring promoted the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the west, so that more people saw the opportunity to work, and in order to seize this opportunity, they hoped that someone could represent themselves and talk to Doolin. Negotiation is a very nerve-wracking process for these westerners who talk with bullets at every turn, and they are not good at it, so they are "smart" to register information in the workers' union, and then hope that the guild will talk to Dohrin.

This would be the breakthrough point for the workers' unions in the west, so the workers' unions were particularly excited, and they also sent a lavish delegation, led by the local president, plus three legal advisers and some workers' representatives, to sit with Doolin in a stable.

"Mr. Doolin, we are very sincere, and the guild will arrange for you to have healthy workers to take care of your farm, and there will be one literate worker for every fifty workers who have received basic education. In the entire Empire, this is the best condition to show our sincerity. What the guild president said is not false at all, it seems that this is a civilized society, but in fact, there is a "dark" society under the surface of this civilized society.

This dark society doesn't refer to crime or anything like that, but to culture. Culture, which includes a lot of things, but here it is about knowing words, being able to read and write, being able to do simple calculations and knowing how to record numbers. It has only been more than 20 years since the empire entered a new era from decaying feudal rule, and it can be said that more than fifty percent or more of the people in this society are "illiterate", and these people are precisely the lowest level of this society, these people are the workers.

They sell their labor for a meagre wage, but not every job is suitable for them, even manual labor.

For the capitalists, educated workers are more popular than uneducated workers, and in addition to the quality and upbringing of the workers through education, there are many things to be recorded or calculated in the factory. These workers have become sought-after goods in the workers' market, and in the working class, these people are in the middle and upper strata of the working class, and it is easier to find work, and it is a good job.

This time, in order to negotiate a "business" with Doolin, the workers' union took the initiative to relieve Doolin's worries, and they organized a short-term literacy class and a calculation class, which will be taught free of charge to workers who wish to acquire knowledge. The books, exercise books, pencils, and the like were all from the workers' union, and it would be a lot of money, but as long as we could negotiate with Doolin on the employment issue, it would be considered a victory!

Dulin didn't really have a problem with meeting at the stable, he was quite kind here, after all, he was a farmer's child. Until now, there were some people who were jealous of him, or who had splashed dirty water for some other reason, and kept emphasizing Durin's origins, and the words of a mud dog's leg and a farmer's son were already very good. At first, Durin was a little bored, but as time went on, he was able to get to his senses.

The reason is simple, there are always people who want to find solace in the shortcomings of others, just like a joke that circulated some time ago, the joke is only one sentence - Lord Maggs is actually just like us to pick at the nose. Perhaps, for a character like Mags, those who hate him can only barely find this flaw to ruin his reputation, even though it doesn't actually help.

Being said to be a farmer's child or a mud dog's leg will not let him lose a piece of meat, and those who love him will continue to love him, and as for those who hate him, there seems to be no other way than to hate him even more.

Durin looked down at the table in front of him, very shabby, I don't know who proposed to meet in the stable, and after a few minutes, when the president of the union opposite was a little anxious, Durin raised his head and stretched out a finger.

"The first requirement is that one out of every ten workers must be able to read and write, and have the ability to calculate and record. Then he stretched out his second finger, "All worker information must be open to me, and there must be no concealment." ”

"I don't accept any form of dispatch system, I will let people choose the roster of workers. I didn't pick it, and I won't accept it. ”

"I have to have the right to unconditionally dismiss workers, and I need to write this into the employment contract!"

"During the period of employment, the worker who has been given a job is not allowed to accept any dispatch from the union and is not allowed to participate in the activities of the workers' union, otherwise I will dismiss him, which must also be written into the employment contract. ”

"As long as you can promise and agree in writing, I will employ the workers through the workers' union. ”

The reason why Doolin was willing to talk to the workers' union was because it was their specialty, in other words, it was impossible for Doolin to have people go around and post advertisements for employment. Now the workers he hires are also found for him by the workers' union. It's just that there was a slight difference between the past and the present, in the past, these people from the workers' union had no voice in the west, and they helped Duhrin find suitable workers because Doolin gave them money, and for their own interests, they served Duhrin all over the west.

Now that the workers' unions have risen in the west, it is clear that power is more important than money, because everyone knows that if you have a certain amount of power in your hands, you will inevitably get more money. So the workers' union was going to do business, and Durin was not willing to do that. What he needs is employees, not labor dispatch from workers' unions, and the disobedient kind.
