0213 Dragon Quest
"Things are going to work out much faster than expected!"
Walking through the busiest streets of Sabin, one can finally feel the atmosphere of depression after the turmoil.
There was no one on the street, and even if there were, they were hunched over and bowed their heads, for fear of attracting the attention of those soldiers on duty.
In just one morning, the security of the city was so effectively controlled that so far there was hardly any crime to be seen, at least in places where the eyes could be watched at will.
There were people who tried to provoke the soldiers, who were not aware of what had happened in the early morning, and they got the results they wanted.
Some people were pushed to the ground, and some people fled back to their homes and were not spared, not only themselves, but also their families were pressed to the ground, which was also the fulfillment of their wishes.
It's a pity that they don't have the courage to shout such a shocking slogan as "Who's going to shoot me" at this time, maybe someone will satisfy them!
It is now a non-controlled time, and every day from 9 to 11 o'clock in the morning and from 4 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it is a non-controlled time, and people can travel in an orderly manner.
It must be orderly, more than three people walking together may be investigated by the military, and more than five people will basically lie on the ground in a row.
Parade?
Demonstrate?
This is over, because it was just today, at 8:45 a.m., that a news item was broadcast simultaneously on all the channels of the Sabine City TV station.
There is a proposal to impeach the president officially passed the first round of voting, and the second round of voting begins, and if the second round of voting also passes, then Mr. President will face the embarrassing situation of being kicked out of the presidential palace.
This may be the second president in the history of the Union to be expelled from the Presidential Palace, and he will be as much of a joke in the history of the Union as the last one to be expelled from the Presidential Palace, or the kind that will be laughed at for decades and centuries.
The report claims that all the suffering being suffered in society is actually due to the mistakes made by the president and his cabinet in domestic and international policymaking, as well as the panic caused by the arrest of political opponents during this time, which led to the massive strike.
This report is like ...... After inflicting irreparable damage on the people and society, they took the initiative to find a ladder for the people and threw their main crimes to Mr. President and his cabinet.
All of a sudden, the people sitting in front of the television suddenly "woke up" to the fact that the truth was like this, and that the culprits were the president and the presidential cabinet, no wonder they felt that they had been deceived .......
This greatly relieved some people, and at the same time found a cathartic channel for their behavior in the past month - it turned out that it was all the president's fault!
This is precisely the reason why a general strike can quickly sweep the entire federation through the United States, where the top of the government is indulgent, and they need to be "united as one".
It's hard for people to be united, it's hard to stick together, if it's just a simple way to get it out, but now that they've done it, whether they really think so, or they're eager to make excuses for what they're doing, they have to stand with the underlying mainstream.
This report has succeeded in drawing the attention of the public from the strike and labor conflict to the issue of impeachment of the president, and they are also looking forward to the successful impeachment of the president, which proves that everything is the president's fault!
At the same time, local governments began to speed up the process of negotiations between labor and management, and most places began to implement strict control systems, and the attitude of local city halls towards the people suddenly turned 180 degrees, which made some people a little overwhelmed.
This is like a mother who always tolerates her children, and always maintains patience in the face of naughty children, until one day the child is really a little too much, and she slaps him and flies out.
Children will cry because of the pain, but they will also understand what respect is because of the pain, until they don't feel the pain and get beaten next time!
"Where have all those homeless people gone?"
Lynch found that at this time the streets were actually clean and there was not even a single homeless person, which did not seem to be very federal, and the homeless had become a part of the social and cultural characteristics of the Baile Federation, and to be honest, it was a little uncomfortable to suddenly disappear one day.
The sergeant pursed his lips and explained, "They are centrally managed, I mean they are still relatively free, but now there are people who manage them." ”
Lynch nodded knowingly, "I know, in fact, you don't have to explain." ”
The sergeant stopped talking, explaining that he didn't want Lynch to think too much of the military, or that the military was too cruel and inhumane.
Generally, when military control is imposed, the homeless are always the first to be unlucky.
They would be driven into an area and asked to give up all their personal possessions, which were cardboard boxes, worthless but useful garbage, bottles and cans.
It takes a lot of manpower to check whether these things are safe, and the military doesn't have the time or manpower to check these things, so the best thing to do is to remove them all, as for the homeless people have opinions?
No, they won't have an opinion, they'll just be very cooperative, and no one can behave as hard as usual in front of the muzzle of the black hole.
For example, if someone disappears, no one will notice it, let alone make trouble about their disappearance.
Today is the second collective bargaining, and Lynch has nothing to do, so he decides to join in the fun.
The auction cannot be held at the moment, the town hall will not approve such a request, and at the same time there are too many people gathered, and at this particular juncture, if something unexpected happens, it could be a political event, and everything has to be sidelined for the sake of stability.
Since there is nothing to do, then go and observe the negotiations, in any case, he is also a well-known capitalist.
When he arrived at the venue, Lynch didn't have a seat with a seat card, and he sat at the edge of the hall, which was actually a nice place.
One could not notice the young man in a corner, but Lynch could see most of the people in the lights and know their identities through Schika.
From the very beginning, this negotiation was full of gunpowder, and although the workers were no longer making trouble, the problem had not been resolved, and their attitude at the negotiating table would not be too good.
In order to bring about a solution to the labor problem as soon as possible, the workers' unions also sent several commissioners to help mediate between the workers and the capitalists.
They have understood the attitude of the authorities, so they also intend to return everything to the way it was.
Of course, the bottom line of the workers' representatives is slightly more relaxed than the previous one, and they can agree to the full-time work demanded by the capitalists, that is, 60 hours a week, one day off on weekends, and 10 hours a day for the rest.
This is already a relatively light working day, and in some other places, there are even 12 hours a day, 72 hours a week.
But for wages to be raised, 4.5 percent is an acceptable price for both employers and employees.
It's just that on the issue of welfare, there are still many contradictions that are difficult to solve.
It's a good sign, at least they've solved some of it, and the next time, or the next time, after everyone goes back, there may be some concessions after the discussion calms down.
Isn't the so-called negotiation a process of mutual concessions step by step to a mutually acceptable process?
It was just a little surprising to Lynch that there was also something that did not belong to the work and the workers that was included in this negotiation.
Where, after some major issues, the mayor was about to announce the end of the negotiations, which had made significant progress but had no concrete breakthroughs, the commissioner of the workers' union coughed lightly, and all eyes were drawn to him.
The commissioner pursed his lips with a somewhat solemn expression, "Mr. Mayor, I have another request here, but this request has nothing to do with the management, but with you. ”
"Me?", the mayor lowered his head, his gaze looking through the distance between his glasses and his brow bone, and even took off his eyes altogether, rubbing his sockets as he asked, "Then we can discuss, it will be much faster than your discussion." ”
The commissioner knew that the mayor was sarcastically procrastinating them for dragging time around some minor issue that was not important, but this was also a ploy to make the capitalists understand that it was not easy to settle down once the workers were in trouble.
With this awareness, it is easier to deal with some problems in normal times.
He smiled politely, "Sorry for the delay in your time, this appeal comes from most ordinary workers." ”
"That's what you said when you made trouble!", someone couldn't help but interject, in exchange for a light-hearted, disdainful laugh from some capitalists.
But the commissioner was not ashamed at all, in fact, in a way, he was not a working class himself, he was only based on a class above the working group, and he did not consider himself to be a working class, so he was not sensitive to this sentence and those impolite laughter.
Of course, the warning should be given, and then he said, "Now many of our workers are unable to work, or have lost their jobs, and it is difficult for them to keep a family running, and we all know that the town hall has stopped distributing food coupons for some time, and we hope to resume the distribution and exchange of food coupons as soon as possible." ”
He raised some of his voices, and also showed the seriousness of the matter, "It is about whether people will starve to death, and the daily life of hundreds of thousands of workers' families!"
